• You can check the selected AE mode by the on-

memory even if the DVD video camera/recorder is
turned off.
• When recording in a dark area, an after-image will
appear when filming a moving subject or if camera
shake occurs (it is therefore recommended that you
use a tripod in such cases).

the image may flicker: In this case, use the Auto mode
for recording.
