Quick Start Function
When you close the LCD panel with the
camcorder set to a recording mode, the
camcorder enters the standby mode. In
standby mode the camcorder consumes
only about half the power used when
recording, saving energy when you are
using a battery pack. Additionally, when
you open the LCD panel, the camcorder
is ready to start recording in
approximately 1 second*, ensuring you
do not miss important shooting
opportunities.
* The actual time required varies depending
on the shooting conditions.

With the camcorder on and the
CAMERA indicator lit up in green,
close the LCD panel.
• If you are using the viewfinder and
the LCD panel is closed, press
to enter the standby
mode.
• A beep will sound and the
CAMERA indicator will change to
orange to indicate the camcorder
entered the standby mode.

When you wish to resume
recording, open the LCD panel.
• The CAMERA indicator turns back
green and the camcorder is ready
to record.
• You can also press to
resume recording using the
viewfinder with the LCD panel
closed.
IMPORTANT
Do not disconnect the power source while
the camcorder is in standby mode
(
CAMERA indicator is lit in orange).
NOTES
• If you close the LCD panel under some
circumstances (for example, while the
DISC access indicator is flashing or a
menu is being displayed), the camcorder
may not enter standby mode. Check that
the
CAMERA indicator changes to
orange.
• The camcorder will shut off if left in
standby mode for 10 minutes, regardless
of the [POWER SAVE] setting (
71). To
restore the power if the camcorder shut
off, turn the
switch toward MODE
and release it, or turn the camcorder off
and then on again.
• You can select the length of time until
shut-off or turn off the Quick Start
function altogether with the [QUICK
START] setting (
71).
• Performing any of the following actions
while the camcorder is in standby mode
will reactivate the camcorder.
- Opening the disc compartment cover.
- Changing the position of the
/
switch.
- Turning the switch toward
MODE.
Reviewing and Deleting the Last Scene
