FEATURES FOR RECORDING EN 31

SPORTS

(Variable Shutter Speed: 1/250 – 1/4000)

This setting allows fast-moving images to be captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable slow-motion playback. The faster the shutter speed, the darker the picture becomes. Use the shutter function under good lighting conditions.

SNOW: Compensates for subjects that may otherwise appear too dark when shooting in extremely bright surroundings such as in the snow.

SPOTLIGHT: Compensates for subjects that may otherwise appear too bright when shooting under extremely strong direct lighting such as spotlights.

NOTE:

“SPOTLIGHT” has the same effect as –3 with the exposure control. ( pg. 32)

When “WIDE MODE” is set to “SQUEEZE ” ( pg. 26), the “O” indication blinks in blue and Snapshot recording becomes impossible.

If Program AE with special effects ( pg. 30) is engaged, certain modes of Program AE with special effects are disabled during Snapshot recording. In such a case, the icon blinks.

If SNAPSHOT is pressed when “DIS” is set to “ON” ( pg. 26), the Stabilizer will be disabled.

During playback as well, all snapshot modes are available

when “ COPY” is set to “OFF” in VIDEO Menu. ( pg. 28) However, the shutter sound is not heard.

During Snapshot recording, the image displayed in the viewfinder may be partially missing. However, there is no effect in the recorded image.

When a cable is connected to the AV connector, the shutter sound is not heard from the speaker, however it is recorded onto the tape.

TWILIGHT: Makes evening scenes look more natural. White Balance ( pg. 33) is automatically set to “”, but can be changed to your desired setting. When Twilight is chosen, the camcorder automatically adjusts the focus from approx. 10 m (32 ft) to infinity. From less than 10 m, adjust the focus manually.

SEPIA: Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a classic look.

MONOTONE: Like classic black and white films, your footage is shot in B/W. Used together with the Cinema mode, it enhances the “classic film” effect.

CLASSIC FILM*: Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.

STROBE*: Your recording looks like a series of consecutive snapshots.

* Available only when the VIDEO/MEMORY Switch is set to

Motor Drive Mode

Keeping SNAPSHOT pressed in step 5 provides an effect similar to serial photography. (Interval between still images: approx. 1 second)

The Motor Drive mode is disabled when “REC SELECT” is

set to “/”. ( pg. 28)

Auto Focus

The camcorder’s Full Range AF system offers continuous shooting ability from close-up (as close as approx. 5 cm (2") to the subject) to infinity.

However, correct focus may not be obtainable in the situations listed

When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out first. ( pg. 12) If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the camcorder may automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. This will not occur when “TELE MACRO” is set to “ON”. ( pg. 26)
