128 Additional Information
[Focus Assistance]: When the focus assistance is activated, the image at
the center of the screen is magnified to help you focus manually ( 58).
•Using the focus assistance will not affect the recordings. It will be can-
celled automatically after 4 seconds or when you s tart recording.
[Onscreen Markers]: You can display a grid or a horizontal line at the cen-
ter of the screen. Use the markers as a reference to make sure your sub-
ject is framed correctly (vertically and/or horizontally).
•Using the onscreen markers will not affect the recordings.
[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 ( 65) is set correctly but the audio still sounds distorted.
When the microphone attenuator is activated, appears on the
screen.
