| Is there any automatic power off mode on the TRV33? I keep forgetting to turn the camcorder off and then find the battery run down. My old Sony Hi8 powered off automatically after 5 minutes of non use. There must be a setting somewhere on the machine - but I can't find anything in the manual. Alternatively is there a TRV33 specific forum I can ask in? Thanks Nick Mapstone |

| In message , Martin Imber writes AFAIK no standby mode Have you tried reading your manual? When you select Camera you're in Standby mode, press the little red button and you're in Record mode, press the little red button again and you're back in Standby mode.... and so on ad infinitum.... Your display shows either STBY (short for Standby) or REC (short for Record) when you're shooting. If you remain in Standby mode for about three minutes then the camcorder switches itself to the OFF status (even though the selection is still in the Camera position. Unless of course you have no cassette in the camcorder, when it will remain in the Standby mode ad infinitum... -- Tony Morgan http://www.camcord.info |

No mention If you remain in Standby mode for about three minutes then the camcorder switches itself to the OFF status (even though the selection is still in the Camera position. Unless of course you have no cassette in the camcorder, when it will remain in the Standby mode ad infinitum... I've always thought of it as rec and pause It flattens the battery it doesn't turn off forgot to switch off once two hours later down to 1 hour battery life |

I've always thought of it as rec and pause Obviously you don't believe in reading the manual - or for that matter in reading what it says on the camcorder itself :-) It flattens the battery it doesn't turn off forgot to switch off once two hours later down to 1 hour battery life If you'd taken the trouble to read the manual I I think you'd already have taken the camcorder back and get it repaired/replaced.. -- Tony Morgan http://www.rhylonline.com |
