[ ] = Factory-preset
[SP]: To record in the SP (Standard Play) mode
LP: Long Play—more economical, providing 1.5 times
the recording time.
NOTES:
● Audio Dubbing (੬ pg. 40) and Insert Editing (੬ pg. 40) are
possible on tapes recorded in the SP mode.
● If the recording mode is switched, the playback picture will
be blurred at the switching point.
● It is recommended that tapes recorded in the LP mode on
this camcorder be played back on this camcorder.
● During playback of a tape recorded on another camcorder,
blocks of noise may appear or there may be momentary
pauses in the sound.
[12 BIT]: Enables video recording of stereo sound on
four separate channels, and is recommended for use
when performing Audio Dubbing. (Equivalent to the 32
kHz mode of previous models)
16 BIT: Enables video recording of stereo sound on two
separate channels. (Equivalent to the 48 kHz mode of
previous models)
12X: When set to “12X” while using digital zoom, the
zoom magnification will reset to 12X since digital zoom
will be disengaged.
[40X]*: Allows you to use the Digital Zoom. By digitally
processing and magnifying images, zooming is possible
from 12X (the optical zoom limit), to a maximum of 40X
digital magnification.
700X*: Allows you to use the Digital Zoom. By digitally
processing and magnifying images, zooming is possible
from 12X (the optical zoom limit), to a maximum of 700X
digital magnification.

[FULL]: Snapshot mode with no frame
PIN-UP: Pin-Up mode
FRAME: Snapshot mode with frame
For details on the procedure, refer to “Snapshot (For
Video Recording)” (੬ pg. 32).
OFF: Allows you to shoot dark scenes with no picture
brightness adjustment.
[AGC]: The overall appearance may be grainy, but the
image is bright.
AUTO : The shutter speed is automatically
adjusted. Shooting a subject in low or poor lighting at
slow shutter speed provides a brighter image than in the
AGC mode, but the subject’s movements are not smooth
or natural. The overall appearance may be grainy. While
the shutter speed is being automatically adjusted, “”
is displayed.
[MANUAL]: Enables thumbnail images to be made
manually. (੬ pg. 36)
5SEC / 15SEC / 30SEC / 60SEC:
The captured image is stored in the memory card as a
thumbnail image when the recording time is over the
navigation time.
For example, “5SEC” is suitable to record short scenes
with the thumbnail images. (੬ pg. 35) However, the
stored thumbnail images may take up a lot of memory. In
this case, using the memory card with large capacity is
recommended.
OFF: Disables the function.
●The “” indicator appears when “NAVIGATION” is
set to other than “MANUAL” and “OFF”.
MANUAL
The “q MANUAL” settings are effective only when the
Power Switch is set to “M”.
[ ] = Factory-preset
OFF: Disables the function.
[ON ]: To compensate for unstable images caused
by camera-shake, particularly at high magnification.
NOTES:
● Accurate stabilisation may not be possible if hand shake is
excessive, or depending on the shooting condition.
● The “” indicator blinks or goes out if the Stabiliser
cannot be used.
● Switch off this mode when recording with the camcorder on
a tripod.
[OFF]: Disables the function.
ON: When the distance to the subject is less than 1 m,
set “TELE MACRO” to “ON”. You can shoot a subject as
large as possible at a distance of approx. 60 cm.
NOTE:
Depending on the zoom position, the lens may go out of focus.
