[Image Stabilizer]: 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.
[AGC Limit]: Sets a maximum value for the automatic gain control.
• When recording in dark places, the lower the maximum AGC limit, the
darker the scene will be recorded.
• The highest gain levels will be available when set to [ Automatic].
• This function can also be assigned to the custom key/dial ( 85).
[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.
[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 ( 80) is set correctly but the audio still sounds distorted.
When the microphone attenuator is activated, appears on the
screen.
