[IMG STAB]: The image stabilizer compensates for camcorder shake even at full
telephoto.
• The image stabilizer is designed to compensate for a normal degree of camcorder
shake.
• We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [ OFF] when using a tripod.
[WIDESCREEN]: The camcorder uses the full width of the image sensor providing high-
resolution 16:9 recordings.
• Since the screen on the camcorder has an aspect ratio of 16:9, recordings with a 4:3
aspect ratio will appear in the center of the screen with black sidebars.
• Playing back a widescreen recording: TV sets compatible with the Video ID-1 system
will automatically switch to wide (16:9) mode. Otherwise, change the aspect ratio of the
TV manually. To play back on a TV with normal aspect ratio (4:3) change the [TV TYPE]
setting accordingly ( 80).
• The setting will not change even if you set the camcorder to mode.
[FOCUS PRI.]: When the focus priority is activated, the camcorder records a still image
only after the focus has been adjusted automatically. You can also select which AF frames
to use.
[ ON:AiAF]: One or more AF frames out of the nine frames available are automatically
selected and the focus is fixed on them.
[ ON:CENTER]: A single focusing frame appears in the center of the screen and the
focus is automatically fixed on it.
[ OFF]: No AF frame will appear and the still image will be recorded immediately after
you press .
• When the recording mode is set to [ FIREWORKS], focus priority is automatically
set to [ OFF].
[A.SL SHUTTER]: The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter speeds to obtain
brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting.
• The camcorder uses shutter speeds down to 1/30 (1/15 in mode).
• The setting will not change even if you set the camcorder to mode.
• If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [ OFF].
• If (camcorder shake warning) appears, we recommend stabilizing the camcorder, for
example, by mounting it on a tripod.
