Refer to “Fade/Wipe Effects” (੬ pg. 50, 51).
Refer to “Program AE With Special Effects” (੬ pg. 48, 49).
Refer to “White Balance Adjustment” and “Manual White Balance Opera-
tion” (੬ pg. 55).
Allows you to set the recording mode (SP or LP) depending on your
preference (੬ pg. 15).
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)
Enables video recording of stereo sound on two separate channels.
(Equivalent to the 48 kHz mode of previous models)
When set to “10X” while using digital zoom, the zoom magnification will
reset to 10X since digital zoom will be disengaged.
Allows you to use the Digital Zoom. By digitally processing and magnifying
images, zooming is possible from 10X (the optical zoom limit), to a
maximum of 40X digital magnification.
Allows you to use the Digital Zoom. By digitally processing and magnifying
images, zooming is possible from 10X (the optical zoom limit), to a
maximum of 100X digital magnification.
Refer to “Basic Shooting (Snapshot)” (੬ pg. 28) or “Snapshot (For Video
Recording)” (੬ pg. 52).
Allows you to shoot dark scenes with no picture brightness adjustment.
The overall appearance may be grainy, but the image is bright.
The shutter speed is automatically adjusted (1/25 — 1/200 sec.). Shooting a
subject in low or poor lighting at 1/25 sec. 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.
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
under the following conditions:
•When shooting subjects with vertical or horizontal stripes.
•When shooting dark or dim subjects.
•When shooting subjects with excessive backlighting.
•When shooting scenes with movement in various directions.
•When shooting scenes with low-contrast backgrounds.
● Switch off this mode when recording with the camcorder on a tripod.
● The “ ” indicator blinks or goes out if the Stabiliser cannot be used.
Refer to “5-Second Recording” (੬ pg. 47).
Allows you to record a few frames only. By using an inanimate object and
changing its position between shots, you can record the subject as though it is
moving (੬ pg. 47).
Usually the distance to a subject where the lens is in focus depends on the
zoom magnification. Unless there is a distance more than 1 m to the
subject, the lens is out of focus at the maximum telephoto setting. When set
to “ON”, you can shoot a subject as large as possible at a distance of
approx. 60 cm.
•Depending on the zoom position, the lens may go out of focus.
