The simplest way to use the camcorder is with the program
selector set to the [ position. The camcorder will take care of
focus, exposure and other adjustments, leaving you free to point
and shoot.
In normal recording conditions, set the program selector to AUTO.
This is the same as the Easy Recording program, except that you
now have the option of using any of the camcorder’s manual
functions.
