Using the Menu
E:\SONY\2659813111\01US04MEN.fm
You can compensate for camera shake (the
default setting is [ON]).
Set [STEADYSHOT] to [OFF] ( ) when
using a tripod (optional) or the conversion
lens (optional), then the image becomes
natural.
You can reduce image blur when recording
moving pictures on tapes, intended for
import to your computer as still images, by
setting [PROGRES.REC] to [ON] ( ).
This is especially useful for analyzing high-
speed action, such as sports scenes.
To cancel [PROGRES.REC], touch [OFF].
Note on the progressive recording mode
In a normal TV broadcast, the screen is
divided into 2 finer fields and these are
displayed in turn, every 1/60 of a second.
Thus, the actual picture displayed in an
instant covers only half of the apparent
picture area. In progressive recording, the
picture is fully displayed with all the pixels.
A picture recorded in this mode appears
clearer, but a moving subject may appear
awkward.
When recording under fluorescent light or a
light bulb, the screen may flicker. Touch [OFF]
to return to the normal recording.
