Using the Various Recording Programs
The camera provides you with a choice of six recording programs. They use different combinations of
camera settings in order to adjust the exposure and other functions to match the recording situation.
The name of your selected recording program appears constantly on the left of the display, with the
exception of the Easy Recording program whose
[ mark is displayed and then disappears after 4 seconds.
Notes:
• Avoid changing programs during recording as the brightness of the image may change suddenly.
• The specialized AE programs are not suitable for all kinds of lighting. The image may flicker, or a bright
line may appear on the screen if you use them in the wrong lighting conditions.
The simplest way to use the camera is with the
POWER dial set to the
[ position. The camera
will take care of focus, exposure and other
adjustments, leaving you free to point and shoot.
