Additional Information 157
* Option available only when the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone is attached
to the camcorder after having updated the camcorder’s firmware using the mem-
ory card supplied with the SM-V1.
[Digital Zoom]: Determines the
operation of the digital zoom.
The color of the indicator indi-
cates the zoom.
When activated, the cam-
corder will switch automatically
to digital zoom when you zoom
in beyond the optical zoom
range.
With the digital zoom the
image is digitally processed, so
the image resolution will deteri-
orate the more you zoom in.
[AF Mode]: Select how fast the autofocus will operate.
•With [R Instant AF] the autofocus adjusts quickly to a new subject.
This is convenient for example when changing the focus from a near
subject to a far subject in the background, or when recording moving
subjects.
When the optional Wide-converter or Tele-converter is attached to the
camcorder, it may partially obstruct the Instant AF sensor. Set the AF
mode to [S Normal AF].
[Focus Priority]: When the focus priority is activated, the camcorder
records a photo only after the focus has been adjusted automatically. You
can also select which AF frames to use.
[U AiAF Frames]: One or more AF frames out of the nine frames avail-
able are automatically selected and the focus is fixed on them.
[W Center Frame]: A single focusing frame appears in the center of the
screen and the focus is automatically fixed on it.
