When you press QUICK ON, the
camcorder goes to sleep mode (power
saving mode) instead of turning off. The
QUICK ON lamp keeps flashing during
sleep mode. Press QUICK ON again to start
recording next time. Your camcorder
returns to recording standby in
approximately 1 second.

Tips
• During sleep mode, the battery is consumed at
about half that of usual recording, enabling you
to save battery power.
• The power turns off automatically if you do not
operate your camcorder for a certain period
during sleep mode. You can set the time that
you want the camcorder to remain on before
automatically turning off in sleep mode
([QUICK ON STBY], p. 76).
You can record high quality still images
during movie recording by pressing
PHOTO.

• The NightShot and Super NightShot functions
use infrared light. Therefore, do not cover the
infrared port with your fingers or other objects.
• Remove the conversion lens (optional).
• Adjust the focus manually ([FOCUS], p. 80)
when it is hard to focus automatically.
• Do not use the NightShot and Super NightShot
functions in bright places. This may cause a
malfunction.
z
Tips
• To record an image brighter, use the Super
NightShot function (p. 83). To record an image
more faithfully to the original colors, use the
Color Slow Shutter function (p. 83).
