Mode	Function

Zoom	Allows you to use the optical zoom or the Digital Zoom. Zooming is possible
	from 22 times (the optical zoom limit), to a maximum of 44 times digital magnifi-
	cation. Select optical zoom or Digital Zoom in the Menu Screen (☞ pg. 52).

Picture	When recording while holding the camorder in your hand, or when shooting a
Stabiliser	subject with little or no contrast, subtle hand movements will cause shakiness in
	the recorded image (☞ pg. 21).

Video Light	To brighten the scene when natural lighting is too dim (☞ pg. 23).

Auto Mode Lock	Locks the camcorder in Full Auto mode, preventing incorrect operation due to
	accidental button pressing during shooting.

	the Menu Jog Dial (☞ pg. 26, 27).

Auto Mode	Re-enables the controls that were disabled by Auto Mode Lock (☞ pg. 26, 27).
Release

Electronic Fog	Makes the picture look misty white, as when an external fog filter is attached to
Filter	the lens. Softens the image and gives it a “fantasy” look (☞ pg. 26, 27).

ND Effect	A black mist darkens the picture, as when an ND filter is used. Helps to counter
	the effects of glare on the subject (☞ pg. 26, 27).
