even if the DVD Video Camera is turned off.
a Auto : The video camera automatically judges
the subject and surrounding environment for
optimum recording.
Sports : Reduces blurring when recording
rapidly moving subjects such as in golf or tennis.
If the Sports mode is used under a fluorescent light,
the image may flicker: In this case, use the Auto
mode for recording.
Portrait : Creates a shallow depth of field so that
the person or subject appears against a softened
background.
Spotlight : Prevents overexposure of subject
portrait face, etc. when strong light strikes the
subject, as in a wedding or on stage.
Surf & Snow : Prevents underexposure of
subject portrait face, etc. in a place where reflection
of light is intense, such as at the seaside in
midsummer or on a ski slope.
Low Light : Allows user to record in a dark place
even with decreased lighting: However, an after-
image will appear with a moving subject.
Note that the Low Light mode cannot be used when
the recording quality mode is STD.
If there is difficulty in automatically focusing subject
image, adjust the focus manually.
