[AF Mode]: 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.
• 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 [ 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.
[ AiAF Frames]: One or more AF frames out of the nine frames available are
automatically selected and the focus is fixed on them.
[ Center Frame]: A single focusing frame appears in the center of the screen and the
focus is automatically fixed on it.
[ Off]: No AF frame will appear and the photo will be recorded immediately after you
press .
• When the recording mode is set to [ Fireworks], focus priority is automatically set to
[ Off].
[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.
[Auto Slow Shutter]: The camcorder
automatically uses slow shutter speeds to
obtain brighter recordings in places with
insufficient lighting.
• The setting will not change even if
you set the camcorder to
mode.
• 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.
[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 ].
