• While recording a bright subject, diffraction
may occur if you close the aperture further
down, resulting in a fuzzy focus (this is a
common phenomenon with video cameras). The
ND filter B suppresses this phenomenon and
gives better recording results.

balance values in memory A (

memory B ( B), respectively. Unless a
white balance is readjusted, values will
remain even after the power has been
turned off.

[OUTDOOR] or [INDOOR] is selected,
according to which one you previously set
with [WB PRESET] in the
(CAMERA SET) menu.
