About the Power Save mode:
If

power when it is powered by a battery pack and is left without any
operation for 5 minutes. Press
to turn on the camcorder.
• When recording in bright places, it may be difficult to use the LCD
screen. In such cases, you can turn on the LCD backlight (
29) or

NOTES
• AVCHD discs containing scenes recorded in MXP mode cannot be cre-
ated with the optional DW-100 DVD Burner. Use the software on the
supplied
Video Tools
CD-ROM to back up such scenes.
• The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video so the
actual recording times will vary depending on the content of the scenes.
• The camcorder retains the last setting used even if you set the cam-
corder to
