Using the Colour Night View at the same time
will make conditions even brighter.
The Video Light enables to lighten simply the
images taken in a dimly-lit place. However we
recommend using it in a light place in order to
obtain the high quality images.
ªPhotoshot
Photoshot Recording results in slightly inferior
image quality.
ªProgressive Photoshot Function
The still pictures are recorded at a slightly
rewound point from where you press the
[PHOTO SHOT] Button.
When you change to the Still Picture Mode, you
will hear a click. This is the sound of the iris
closing and not an indication of malfunction.
If you record still pictures in Progressive
Photoshot Mode when your Movie Camera is set
to Programme AE (l 24), the brightness of the
images may change.
When you set the following functions,
[PROGRESSIVE] will be set to [OFF].
Digital Effect Modes in [EFFECT] (l 28)
Digital Zoom [D.ZOOM] (l 21)
Image Stabilizer Function [SIS] (l 22)
When [PROGRESSIVE] is set to [ON], the
shutter speed cannot be adjusted to 1/750 s or
faster. (l 26)
ªZoom In/Out Functions
When you are zooming on a faraway subject, a
sharper focus is achieved if the recording subject
is 1.2 metres or more away from the Movie
Camera.
ªImage Stabilizer Function
The Image Stabilizer Function does not operate
in a dimly lit place. In this case, the [[]
Indication flashes.
Under fluorescent lighting, image brightness
may change or colours may not look natural.
After-images may appear.
When a tripod is used, it is recommended that
you turn the Image Stabilizer off.
ªCinema Function
If you play back tape recorded in Cinema Mode
on a wide-screen (16:9) format TV, playback size
is automatically adjusted to fit the TV screen
format. Please refer to the TV’s operating
instructions for details.
When images are displayed on a TV screen, the
Date/Time Indication may be erased in some
cases.
ªColour Night View Function
In a bright place, such as the outdoors, the
recorded picture may become whitish.
The recorded picture is presented in a
time-lapse-like manner because of the slow
shutter speed of 1/2 second.
It may take time to bring the subject into focus.
It is recommended to adjust the Focus manually
(l 27).
White Balance cannot be changed.
The shutter speed cannot be adjusted.
When this function is set, the Sports Mode,
Portrait Mode, Low Light Mode cannot be set
simultaneously. Also when the DigitalEffect
Mode is set, this function is cancelled.
When recording with the Colour Night View
Function, it is recommended to use the tripod.
ªProgramme AE
If any of the Programme AE Modes is selected,
you cannot adjust the shutter speed (l 26) or
iris (l 27).
You cannot use Sports Mode, Portrait Mode or
Low-Light Mode with Gain-up Mode [GAIN UP]
and Colour Night View Function.
Sports Mode
During normal playback, the image
movement may not look smooth.
Because the colour and brightness of the
playback image may change, avoid
recording under fluorescent light, mercury
light, or sodium light.
If you record a subject illuminated with
strong light or a highly reflective subject,
vertical lines of light may appear.
If the light is insufficient, the [5] Indication
flashes.
If this mode is used for indoor recording,
playback images may flicker.
Sports Mode/Portrait Mode
If you record a still picture in Progressive
Photoshot Mode, the brightness and hue of
the recorded still picture may become
unstable.

be made brighter to a satisfactory degree.
