I don't recall the original post, but I believe Phil is referring to 
the tape door. When the ZR 40 is in Camera mode and not recording, it 
will automatically shut itself off after about 5 minutes of non-use 
if there is a tape inserted. If you remove the tape cartridge, the 
unit will stay on (you can leave the tape door closed if there is no 
tape).

This is what I have to do when I've used my camera with iChat AV.
