Power Save Mode
Activate the power save mode to turn off the screen and reduce
battery consumption. At the press of a button, the camcorder will
immediately return to record pause mode.
1 Hold the POWER SAVE button pressed down for at least
1 second.
• The screen will turn off and the power indicator will illuminate
in orange.
• During power save mode, the tally lamps will flash twice
approximately every 3 seconds. The camcorder retains
previous time code and camcorder settings.
2 Press the POWER SAVE button to return the camcorder to record pause mode.
Using the Fan
During mode, the camcorder uses an internal cooling fan to reduce the camcorder’s internal heat.

2 Select the desired option and then press SET.
Options
[On]: The fan runs at a slow speed at all times (except when the camcorder is in power save mode, then it is
turned off). Use this default setting in most cases.
[Automatic]: The fan runs at a high speed while the camcorder is not recording (including during power save mode)
and it is automatically turned off while the camcorder is recording. However, if the internal temperature of
the camcorder is too high (
b
appears in red), the fan will be activated automatically (in that case,
`
will appear next to the
b
icon). When the camcorder’s temperature has decreased sufficiently, the fan
will be turned off. Use this setting when you do not want the camcorder to pick up the operating sound
of the cooling fan.
NOTES
• Be careful not to cover with tape or otherwise obstruct the cooling fan’s air intake and exhaust vents (marked
as AIR INTAKE/EXHAUST VENT).
