Additional Information

[AF Mode]: Select how fast the autofocus will operate.

•With [ Instant AF] the autofocus adjusts quickly to a new subject. This is convenient for example when changing the focus from a near subject to a far subject in the background, or when recording fast-moving subjects.

•When the optional Wide-converter or Tele-converter is attached to the camcorder, it may

partially obstruct the Instant AF sensor. Set the AF mode to [ Normal AF].

[Focus Priority]: When the focus priority is activated, the camcorder records a photo only after the focus has been adjusted automatically. You can also select which AF frames to use.

[

 

AiAF Frames]: One or more AF frames out of the nine frames available are

automatically selected and the focus is fixed on them.

[

 

Center Frame]: A single focusing frame appears in the center of the screen and the

 

focus is automatically fixed on it.

[

 

Off]: No AF frame will appear and the photo will be recorded immediately after you

press PHOTO .

• When the recording mode is set to [ Fireworks], focus priority is automatically set to

[ Off].

[Image Stabilizer]: The image stabilizer compensates for camcorder shake even at full telephoto.

•The image stabilizer is designed to compensate for a normal degree of camcorder shake.

•We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [ Off] when using a tripod.

[Auto Slow Shutter]: The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting.

•The setting will not change even if

you set the camcorder to mode.

•In mode, set the flash mode to (flash off).

•If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [ Off].

•If (camcorder shake warning) appears, we recommend stabilizing the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a tripod.

[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 [ Off ].
