The carrying handle is equipped with a duplicate set
of recording and zoom controls, ideal for low-angle
recording. Slide the LOCK switch in the direction of
the arrow to prevent the accidental operation of
these controls.
Power Saving Mechanisms
STANDBY Lever
Switch the STANDBY lever to the LOCK position to temporarily pause the recording and turn off all displays.
In contrast to turning the dial to OFF, in the standby mode the camcorder retains the exposure lock
settings.
Power Save Function
In order to protect the tape and video heads, the camcorder will enter the power save mode (VCR STOP) after
4 minutes 30 seconds in record pause mode. If left 30 more seconds without any operation, the camcorder
will automatically shut off. With the customized functions ( 83) you can also deactivate the power save
function if you wish to make adjustments without worrying about losing your settings as a result of the
automatic shut-off.
Once the camcorder entered the power save mode, press the start/stop button to start recording or press one
of the custom keys ( 70) to which the [VCR STOP] function was assigned to return to record pause mode.
If the camcorder automatically shut off (after 5 minutes), turn the to OFF and then back to one of the
recording programs.
VCR Stop Function
You can assign the [VCR STOP] function to either one of the two custom keys ( 70). In VCR stop mode the
camcorder is only partially turned off: The camera section is powered normally while the recorder section is
shut off. When you press the assigned custom key, you can make adjustments to the camera section as long
as necessary without worrying about the power save function’s 5-minute timer. To return to record pause
mode, press the custom key to which the [VCR STOP] function was assigned.
