CAMERA SETUP
Mode switch:
[ON], [ OFF]
The camcorder automatically uses slow
shutter speeds to obtain brighter
recordings in places with insufficient
lighting.
The camcorder uses shutter speeds
down to 1/30 (1/15 in mode).
: Set the flash mode to
(flash off).
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.
[OFF], [ 40X], [ 200X]
Determines the operation of the digital
zoom.
When activated, the camcorder will
switch automatically to the 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 deteriorate the more you
zoom in.
The digital zoom indicator will appear in
light blue from 10x up to 40x and dark
blue from 40x up to 200x.
The digital zoom cannot be used with
the [ NIGHT] recording program ( ).
A still image cannot be simultaneously
recorded on the memory card while
recording movies using the digital zoom.
[ VARIABLE], [ SPEED 3],
[ SPEED 2], [ SPEED 1]
When set to [ VARIABLE] the zoom
speed depends on how you operate the
zoom lever: Press lightly for a slow zoom;
press harder for faster zooms.
The fastest zoom speed can be
achieved with [ VARIABLE]. Among
the fixed zoom speeds, [ SPEED 3] is
the fastest and [ SPEED 1] the
slowest.
[ INSTANT AF], [ NORMAL AF]
Select how fast the autofocus will
operate.
With [ 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 fast moving subjects.
Set the AF mode to [ NORMAL AF]
when you attach the optional Wide-
converter or Tele-converter to the
camcorder.
