Power save and discharge of battery
If, when “Power Save: On” is specified, the DVD video
camera/recorder is left in the recording pause status for
approximately 5 minutes, it will automatically turn off.
To restart recording, set the power switch to
“POWER OFF”, and then set it to “
VIDEO”.
To set or release power save, see “Setting or Re-
leasing Power Save” on page 64.
It is recommended that you specify “Power Save: On”,
since even during recording pause battery power is
consumed at the same level as during recording. Es-
pecially when power save has been released, turn the
DVD video camera/recorder off when not in use.
