NOTES:
● Program AE with special effects can be changed during
recording or during Record-Standby.
● Some modes of Program AE with special effects cannot be
used during Night-Scope.
● When a subject is too bright or reflective, a vertical streak
may appear (smear phenomenon). Smear phenomenon
tends to occur when “SPORTS” or any mode of “SHUTTER
1/250 – 1/4000” is selected.
● Some modes of Program AE with special effects cannot be
used with certain Wipe/Fader effects. (੬ pg. 34) In this
case, the selected indicator blinks or goes out.
PROGRAM AE
OFF: Disables the function. (Factory-preset)
SHUTTER 1/50: The shutter speed is fixed at 1/
50th of a second. Black bands that usually appear when
shooting a TV screen become narrower.
SHUTTER 1/120: The shutter speed is fixed at 1/
120th of a second. The flickering that occurs when
shooting under a fluorescent light or mercury-vapour
lamp is reduced.
SHUTTER 1/250/ SHUTTER 1/500/ SHUTTER 1/1000*/
SHUTTER 1/2000*/ SHUTTER 1/4000*: These settings
allow fast-moving images to be captured one frame at a
time, for vivid, stable slow-motion playback by fixing
shutter speed variables. Use these settings when an
automatic adjustment does not work well, using SPORTS
mode. The faster the shutter speed, the darker the
picture becomes. Use the shutter function under good
lighting conditions.
SPORTS
(Variable Shutter Speed: 1/250 – 1/4000)
This setting allows fast-moving images to be captured
one frame at a time, for vivid, stable slow-motion
playback. The faster the shutter speed, the darker the
picture becomes. Use the shutter function under good
lighting conditions.
SNOW: Compensates for subjects that may
otherwise appear too dark when shooting in extremely
bright surroundings such as in the snow.
SPOTLIGHT: Compensates for subjects that may
otherwise appear too bright when shooting under
extremely strong direct lighting such as spotlights.
TWILIGHT: Makes evening scenes look more
natural. White Balance (੬ pg. 34) is automatically set to
“”, but can be changed to your desired setting. When
Twilight is chosen, the camcorder automatically adjusts
the focus from approx. 10 m to infinity. From less than 10
m, adjust the focus manually.
SEPIA: Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like
old photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a
classic look.
MONOTONE: Like classic black and white films,
your footage is shot in B/W. Used together with the
Cinema mode, it enhances the “classic film” effect.
CLASSIC FILM*: Gives recorded scenes a strobe
effect.
STROBE*: Your recording looks like a series of
consecutive snapshots.
MIRROR*: Creates a mirror image on the right half of
the screen, juxtaposed to the normal image on the other
half.
* Available only when the VIDEO/MEMORY Switch is set to
“VIDEO”.
The Navigation Function helps you check tape contents
by making thumbnail images on a memory card.
Before continuing
To use Navigation functions, load a cassette and memory
card, then set the VIDEO/MEMORY Switch to “VIDEO”.
To make thumbnail images during video recording
automatically
1 Set “NAVIGATION” to the desired navigation storing
time. (੬ pg. 27, 28)
● If the “” indicator appears blinking on the screen, wait
until it stops blinking. If it does not stop blinking after a
while, check if a memory card is loaded.
2 Set the Power Switch to “A” or “M”.
3 Press the Recording Start/Stop Button to start
recording.
● When the recording time is over the navigation time set in
step 1, “” appears briefly, then the image of the point
where recording is started is captured and stored in the
memory card as a thumbnail image.
● If the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed before “”
stops blinking, the image of the point where the loaded
memory card is recognised is captured.
4 Press the Recording Start/Stop Button to stop
recording.
