The Button: Mode or
Flexible Recording
The camcorder offers two basic modes
for recording video or still images:
mode for beginners or if you just prefer
not to bother with detailed camcorder
settings, and flexible recording mode
which lets you change the camcorder's
settings to your preference.
Press the button to enter the
mode (the button's blue light will
be on). You do not need to worry about
any settings and can shoot video using
just the zoom lever
( 34) and
( 32) or take photos
using just the zoom lever and
(58).
Press the button again to return
to the flexible recording mode (the
button's light is off). You can access the
menus and change settings to your
preference. Even in flexible recording
mode, the camcorder can help you with
the settings. For example, you can use
the Special Scene recording programs
(
42) to set at once all the optimal
settings to match special recording
conditions.
