ªProgressive PhotoShotTM Function (l25)

≥The still pictures are recorded at a slightly rewound point

click. This is the sound of the iris closing and not an indication of malfunction.

≥If you record still pictures in Progressive PhotoShotTM Mode when your Palmcorder is set to Program AE, the brightness of the images may vary.

≥The picture may be blurred when recording a scene with many horizontal lines or fine patterns.

≥Using the MagicPix Function or the 1.5 Times Tele Jump Zoom Function cancels the Progressive PhotoShotTM

Function.

≥The [æ] Indication flashes and you cannot use the Progressive Photoshot Function when [FLASH] is set to [OFF] and [PROGRESSIVE] is set to [AUTO] and the surrounding luminousity is not enough.

≥The [æ] Indication may flash if the iris is adjusted manually to the Gain-up value (that is [OPEN 0dB] to [18dB]), when

[PROGRESSIVE] is set to [AUTO].
