• You can set Quick Start to [B Off], for example, if the camcorder is
set on a fixed position and you want to keep recording video with the
LCD panel closed in order to conserve the battery's power.
[Battery Info]: Displays a screen where you can verify the battery charge
(as a percentage) and the remaining recording time ( mode) or play-
back time ( , mode).
[Control for HDMI]: Activates the HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Con-
trol) function. When you connect the camcorder to an HDTV compatible
with HDMI-CEC using the supplied HDMI cable, you can control the cam-
corder’s playback using the remote control of the TV.
• If set to [A On], when the camcorder is connected to a compatible
HDTV using the supplied HDMI cable, the video input on the TV will
automatically be set to the camcorder’s video input. Then, you can use
the up/down/left/right buttons and the OK or SET button on the TV’s
remote control to play back your recordings.
• Depending on the TV set, additional settings may be required on the TV
itself to activate the HDMI-CEC function. Refer to the TV’s instruction
manual.
• Correct operation of the HDMI-CEC function cannot be guaranteed
even when connecting the camcorder to compatible TV sets. If you
cannot use the remote control of the TV, set [Control for HDMI] to
[B Off] and operate the camcorder directly.
• The remote control of the TV can only be used to play back movies or
photos ( or mode only). If the camcorder is connected to the
TV while it is set to recording mode, depending on the TV used, turning
off the TV will automatically turn off the camcorder even if it is recording
at the time.
• We recommend not connecting more than 3 HDMI-CEC compatible
devices at a time.
[HDMI 1080p Output]: When the camcorder is connected using an HDMI
connection to a television that supports 1080p output, the camcorder will
convert 1080i video and output it as 1080p.
[HDMI Status]: Displays a screen where you can verify the standard of the
output signal from the HDMI OUT terminal.
[Distance Units]: Selects the units to use for the focusing distance display
during manual focus.
