If
you do not use your camcorder for about 3
months, the built-in rechargeable battery gets
discharged and the date and time settings may
be cleared from the memory. In that case,
charge the built-in rechargeable battery and then
set the date and time again (p. 110).
• It takes a few seconds for your camcorder to be
ready to shoot after the power
is
turned on. You
cannot operate your camcorder during this time.
• The lens cover opens automatically when the
power
is
turned on. It closes when the playback
screen is selected,
or
the power
is
turned off.
• In the setting at the time
of
purchase, the power
turns
off
automatically
if
you leave your
camcorder without any operation attempted for
approximately 5 minutes, to save battery power
([A.SHUT OFF],
p.
80).

Tips
• The date and time does not appear during
recording, but they are automatically recorded
