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 1/3 the power used when recording, saving energy when you are using a battery pack. Additionally, when you open the LCD panel or press ( only), 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. Operating modes: 1 With the camcorder on and in a recording mode, close the LCD panel. • A beep will sound and the green ON/OFF (CHG) indicator will change to orange to indicate the camcorder entered standby mode. • When recording using only the viewfinder (with the LCD panel closed), you can press to set the camcorder in standby mode. 2 When you wish to resume recording, open the LCD panel. • The ON/OFF (CHG) indicator turns back green and the camcorder is ready to record. • You can also press to start recording with the LCD panel closed. Press again to return the camcorder to standby mode. IMPORTANT • Do not disconnect the power source during standby mode (while the ON/OFF (CHG) indicator is lit in orange). NOTES • The camcorder will not enter standby mode if the LCD panel is closed while the ACCESS indicator is on or flashing, while a menu is being dis- played or while using the viewfinder ( only). The camcorder may also not enter standby mode when the battery charge is too low. Check that the ON/OFF (CHG) indicator changes to orange. AUTO Mode Š 53
