Appendix: Menu Options Lists

[Conversion Lens]: When you attach to the camcorder the optional TL-H58 Tele-converter or WD-H58W Wide-converter, set the appropriate conversion lens setting. The camcorder will then optimize the image stabilization and adjust the minimum object distance. The minimum object distance throughout the entire zoom range will be 130 cm (4 ft. 3 in.) for the TL-H58 and 40 cm (1 ft. 3 in.) for the WD-H58W.

•When you select a setting other than [BOff], the AF mode is automatically set to [SNormal AF].

148• The approximate subject distance displayed on the screen will change depending on the setting. If you are not using a conversion lens, select [BOff].

[Onscreen Markers]: You can display a grid or a horizontal line at the center of the screen. Use the markers as a reference to make sure your subject is framed correctly (vertically and/or horizontally).

• Using the onscreen markers will not affect the recordings.

[Camcorder Shake Indicator]: The degree of camcorder shake will be indicated by the POWERED IS

icon (5 levels: , , , , ) to help you be aware of excessive movement.

[Wind Screen]: The camcorder automatically reduces the background sound of wind when recording outdoors.

•Some low-frequency sounds will be suppressed along with the sound of wind. When recording in surroundings unaffected by wind or if you want to record low-frequency sounds, we recommend setting the wind screen to [BOff Z].

[Microphone Attenuator]: Helps prevent audio distortions.

[OAutomatic]: The camcorder will automatically activate the microphone attenuator as necessary for optimal audio recording levels so high audio levels will not be distorted.

[AOn V]: The microphone attenuator will be activated at all times to reproduce more faithfully the sound dynamics. Vwill appear on the screen.
