Recording/Playback
z Tips
• During the standby mode, still images will be
stored in the same way as when the POWER
switch is set to MEMORY.
• When the POWER switch is set to TAPE, still
images will be recorded at image size 4.6M in
the HDV format, 3.4M (4:3) or 4.6M (16:9) in
the DV format.
It is useful to assign a frequently used menu
item to the RING.
The following is an example of the
procedure when the [FOCUS] setting is
assigned (the default setting).
1 Press the MANUAL button to activate the
manual adjustment mode.
The setting mode switches between
automatic and manual every time you press
the MANUAL button.
2 Rotate the RING to adjust the focus
manually.
Menu items that can be assigned
– [FOCUS] (p. 42)
– [ZOOM] (p. 24)
– [EXPOSURE] (p. 40)
– [SHUTTR SPEED] (p. 41)
– [AE SHIFT] (p. 41)
– [WB SHIFT] (p. 42)
To assign the menu items to the RING
1 Press and hold the MANUAL button for
several seconds.
The [RING SETTING] screen appears.
2 Rotate the RING and select a menu item to
be assigned.
3 Press the MANUAL button.
b Notes
• The menu item settings done before will be
retained even if you set other menu item settings
after that. If [EXPOSURE] is set after [AE
SHIFT] is set manually, [EXPOSURE] will
override [AE SHIFT].
• If you select [RESET] in step 2, all the settings
set manually return to the default setting.
z Tips
• During playback, you can adjust the volume
using the RING.
• You can also assign menu items using [RING
SETTING] (p. 45).
Set the NIGHTSHOT switch to ON (
and [“NIGHTSHOT”] appear).
b Notes
• The NightShot and Super NightShot functions
use infrared light. Therefore, do not cover the
infrared port with your fingers or other objects
and remove the conversion lens (optional).
• Adjust the focus manually ([FOCUS], p. 42)
when it is hard to focus automatically.
• Do not use these functions in bright places. This
may cause a malfunction.
