Notes on recording
•The POWER switch of the sports pack has priority over the POWER
switch of the video camera recorder.
•If the video camera is left in Standby mode for five minutes or more, it
switches off automatically. This is to preserve the battery and prevent
tape wear. To return to Standby mode, turn the POWER switch to “OFF”
and then back to “CAMERA.” (Except when using DCR-HC40/HC30/
HC20/HC18/HC16/DVD201/DVD101/DVD91 models with the
A.SHUT OFF function set to [Never]. For details, refer to the operating
instructions of your video camera recorder.)
