ENGLISH

Shooting techniques for different targets (cont.)

O The aperture (IRIS) cannot be adjusted with the multi dial in the IR and SUPER_IR modes; however, both the aperture and gain can be adjusted in the COLOUR_NS mode. (P43)

O You can change the lighting control of the IR light using the IR LED item on the OTHER FUNCTIONS screen. (P79)

O Do not look directly at the IR light when it is on.

O Do not cover the IR light with your hand or anything else.

O When using the camera-recorder’s IR light, remove the lens hood before you start to shoot. (P17)

O For shooting at an even higher sensitivity, we recommend that you use the optional IR light (AG-YRL30G).

O Performing high-sensitivity shooting may give rise to such problems as after-image, a deterioration in the image quality and difficulties in focusing.

When SUPER_IR or COLOUR_NS has been selected as the high-sensitivity shooting mode, images are shot with the CCD taking about 16 times more time than usual to accumulate the signals.

As a result, very small brilliant points that are not usually visible may be recorded as the images: this is normal and does not indicate an error or malfunctioning.

O It may not be possible to reduce the vibration at such times when the vibration is severe or when a moving subject is being tracked and shot at the same time.

O The vibration reduction function may not work properly when the digital zoom function is working.

Wind noise reduction SHOOTING

When “ON” has been selected as the WIND CUT item setting on the RECORDING SETUP screen using the menus (P67-P70), the noise created by wind blowing into the microphone on very windy days can be reduced. (P75)

When the wind noise reduction is activated, WIND CUT appears on the screen.

O The wind noise reduction function works for both the internal microphone and external microphone.

O If there is any bass sound, some of it may be reduced along with the wind noise.

Vibration reduction function

If you are going to hold the camera to shoot, you can use the vibration reduction function to achieve shooting with minimal vibration (camera shake).

appears on the screen when this function is working.

To release the function, press the OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer) button. When the OIS button is pressed again, the function is reactivated.

If you use a tripod, you can obtain natural images by shooting with the vibration reduction function released.

Movie-like shooting

When “4. MOVIE-LIKE” has been selected as the SCENE FILE item setting on the SCENE FILE screen using the menus (P67-P70), you can shoot movie-like images. (P72)
