MagicPix function

This function allows you to record color subjects in dark locations to stand out against the background.

Attach the Camcorder to a tripod and you can record images free from vibration. Recorded scene is seen as if frames were

missed.

Set to Tape Recording Mode.

1Press the joystick to display the icon. Move the joystick down until icon 1 appears.

2Move the joystick up to select the MagicPix icon [ ].

The [MAGICPIX ON] indication appears on the screen of the Camcorder.

If it is difficult to focus, adjust the focus manually. (-40-)

ªTo cancel the MagicPix function

Select the [] icon again.

The [MAGICPIX OFF] indication appears on the screen of the Camcorder.

If set in a bright place, the screen may become whitish for a while.

The MagicPix function makes the signal charging time of the CCD up to approximately 30k longer than usual, so that dark scenes (a minimum of 1 lx) can be recorded brightly. For this reason, bright dots that are usually invisible may be seen, but this is not a malfunction.

The MagicPix function is canceled when you turn off the power or operate the mode dial.

Soft skin mode

This allows the skin color to be recorded in a softer tone. This is more effective if you record a person closely from the torso up.

Set to Tape/Card Recording Mode.

1Press the joystick to display the icon. Move the joystick down until icon 1 appears.

2Move the joystick left to select the soft skin icon [].

ªTo cancel the soft skin mode

The [SOFT SKIN MODE OFF] indication appears on the screen of the Camcorder.

If the background or anything else in the scene has colors similar to the skin color, they will also be smoothed.

If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear.
