 When powered by a battery pack, the camcorder shuts off after 5 minutes
when the camcorder is left without any operation to save power ( 75).
Approximately 30 seconds before the camcorder shuts off, “ AUTO
POWER OFF” appears in the center of the screen. If the camcorder shuts
off, turn the POWER switch to OFF and back on again.
 About the LCD and viewfinder screen: The screens are produced with
extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques, with more than
99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of the
pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black or green dots. This has
no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
