CAMERA SETUP

A.SL SHUTTER

Mode switch: or P (only in the

[ PROGRAM AE] recording program) [ ON], [ OFF]

The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting.

The camcorder uses shutter speeds

down to 1/30 (1/15 in mode,

1/12 in with cinema effect

[ HDV (PF24)]).

: Set the flash mode to (flash off).

If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [ OFF].

If (camcorder shake warning) appears, we recommend stabilizing the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a tripod.

D.ZOOM

[ OFF], [ 40X], [ 200X] Determines the operation of the digital zoom.

When activated, the camcorder will

switch automatically to the digital zoom when you zoom in beyond the optical zoom range.

With the digital zoom the image is digitally processed, so the image resolution will deteriorate the more you zoom in.

Menu Options Lists 37

The digital zoom indicator will appear in light blue from 10x up to 40x and dark blue from 40x up to 200x.

The digital zoom cannot be used with the [ NIGHT] recording program.

A still image cannot be recorded simultaneously on the memory card while recording movies using the digital zoom.

ZOOM SPEED

[ VARIABLE], [ SPEED 3], [ SPEED 2], [ SPEED 1]

When set to [ VARIABLE] the zoom speed depends on how you operate the zoom lever: Press lightly for a slow zoom; press harder for faster zooms.

The fastest zoom speed can be

achieved with [ VARIABLE]. Among the fixed zoom speeds, [ SPEED 3] is the fastest and [ SPEED 1] the slowest.
