Canon HF21 Camcorder User Manual


 
Video 63
- Autofocus may not work as well as in other modes. In such case,
adjust the focus manually.
[ Fireworks]:
- To avoid camcorder blur (blur due to the camcorder moving) we
recommend using a tripod.
- In mode, slower shutter speeds are used so blur is more likely to
occur. Stabilize the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a
tripod.
[ Underwater] and [ Surface]:
- Use these recording programs when making recordings while the
camcorder is in the optional WP-V1 Waterproof Case.
- The [ Underwater] recording program is for making recordings
underwater*. When using underwater lighting equipment or making
recordings while on land, we recommend using the [ Surface]
recording program.
- To switch the recording mode between [ Underwater] and
[ Surface] while the camcorder is in the waterproof case, turn on
the camcorder while holding pressed down.
- will appear on the screen when the camcorder's temperature
becomes too high. If this happens, turn off the camcorder, take it out
of the waterproof case and keep it in a cool place until the
temperature goes down. If the camcorder becomes too hot, it will turn
off automatically.
- When making recordings underwater with the [ Underwater]
recording program, the image on the LCD screen will appear redder
than the actual subject. This will not affect the recording.
- When a commercially available wide-converter or other accessory is
attached to the waterproof case, the camcorder may focus on the
accessory. In such case, move the zoom lever toward T to focus on
the subject.
See Specifications ( 184) for additional notes about the
[ Underwater] and [ Surface] recording programs.
* Underwater is a unique environment that is ever-changing, depending on factors
such as the weather and water conditions. In addition, water absorbs red light,
which causes objects to appear bluer and greener.
