Specify “Program AE: Low Light”, open the LCD monitor 90°,
and turn it 180°. The LCD monitor screen will glow white.
This function is referred to as “Assist Light”.
(2) Quick start
“Quick start” refers to a function, in which if a disc is loaded,
the disc will be temporarily recognized even when the power
switch is set to “OFF”, and the recognized data will be held.
With previous models, disc recognition did not start unless
the power switch was set to “VIDEO” or “DISC PHOTO”.
Therefore, it took approx. 16 seconds
(*1)
before recording
started.
If a disc is inserted in advance, the “Quick start” function will
allow user to start recording in approx. 7.5 seconds
(*1)
.
*1: Average time: It may take much more time, depending on the
status of disc.
