Connections & Setup
Turn on the camcorder
Set the Power switch to the desired setting, either
automatic (
A
) or manual (
M
) record mode, powered
off (OFF), or in playback mode (
).
The POWER indicator comes on when the
camcorder is turned on.
Automatic recording
A
places the camcorder
into AutoShot™ mode. Focus, exposure, iris
control, white balance, and the video light are
controlled by the camcorder during automatic
recording.
Manual recording mode
M
allows you to
control many of the camcorder’s special
features, including accessing the menus and
setting the clock.
Notes:
•
Many special effects don’t operate in
AutoShot mode (see pages 57-59 for
more information).
•
The camcorder automatically turns off to
save battery power if you leave it in
record-standby mode for more than five
minutes. To turn it back on, set the
Power switch to OFF, then back to
automatic or manual record mode.
