Notes
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. 101).
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. 75).
Tips
The date and time does not appear during
recording, but they are automatically recorded
on the “Memory Stick PRO Duo,” and can be
displayed during playback ([DATA CODE],
p. 70).
