Quick Start Function
When you close the LCD panel with the
camcorder on, 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 or change the position of the
mode dial, the camcorder is ready to
start recording in approximately
1 second*, allowing you to record the
subject right away.
* The actual time required varies depending
on the shooting conditions.
