Select the [ ] icon again.
≥The [MAGICPIX OFF] indication appears on the
screen of the Camcorder.
≥If set in a bright place, the screen may become
whitish for a while.
≥The MagicPix function makes the signal
charging time of the CCD up to approximately
30k longer than usual, so that dark scenes (a
minimum of 2 lx) can be recorded brightly. For
this reason, bright dots that are usually invisible
may be seen, but this is not a malfunction.
≥The MagicPix function is canceled when you
turn off the power or operate the mode dial.
