  • XH-A1 “Power Save” disable

    Posted by Dale Spetz on July 25, 2007 at 4:08 pm

    In attempting to disable the A1’s “power save” feature, I have set the “Custom Key 1” to “VCR Stop”, as instructed in the manual. By pressing this “VCR Stop” butten, the function “appears” to work—camera icon goes from green-pause to green-stop—but the camera still goes into “auto shut down” after 5 minutes. I am trying to avoid this “auto shut down”.

    Am I doing something incorrectly?

    Is there a way to permanently disable the “power save” feature?

    Thanks!

    1. It’s obvious you are.
    2. yes & it’s in the manual.

    Custom Function #20.

    Good luck,
