Canon HF21 Camcorder User Manual


 
Additional Information 143
When recording movies with the optional Wide-converter or Tele-con-
verter, set the image stabilizer to [ Standard].
[Auto Slow Shutter]: The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter
speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting.
Minimum shutter speed used: 1/30; 1/12 when the frame rate is set to
[ PF24]; 1/15 when it is set to [ PF30].
The auto slow shutter can only be activated when the recording pro-
gram is set to [ Programmed AE], but 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.
When the recording mode is set to [ Underwater] or [ Surface], this
function is automatically set to [ Off].
[Wind Screen]: The camcorder automatically reduces the background
sound of wind when recording outdoors.
Some low-frequency sounds will be suppressed along with the sound
of wind. When recording in surroundings unaffected by wind or if you
want to record low-frequency sounds, we recommend setting the wind
screen to [ Off ].
[Microphone Attenuator]: Helps prevent audio distortions in due to high
audio recording levels.
Set the microphone attenuator to [ On ] when the audio record-
ing level ( 81) is set correctly but the audio still sounds distorted.
When the microphone attenuator is activated, appears on the
screen.
When the recording mode is set to [ Underwater] or [ Surface], this
function is automatically set to [ Off].
