CAMERA SETUP

Mode switch:
[ON], [ OFF]
The camcorder automatically uses slow
shutter speeds to obtain brighter
recordings in places with insufficient
lighting.
The camcorder uses shutter speeds
down to 1/30 (1/15 when recording still
images).
: 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.
[OFF], [ 40X], [ 200X]
Determines the operation of the digital
zoom.
When activated, the camcorder will
switch automatically to the digital zoom
when you zoom in beyond the optical
zoom range.
With the digital zoom the image is
digitally processed, so the image
resolution will deteriorate the more you
zoom in.
The digital zoom indicator will appear in
light blue from 10x up to 40x and dark
blue from 40x up to 200x.
The digital zoom cannot be used with
the [ NIGHT] recording program ( )
or with the multi-image screen.
[ AUTO], [ OFF]
[ VARIABLE], [ SPEED3],
[ SPEED2], [ SPEED1]
When set to [ VARIABLE] the zoom
speed depends on how you operate the
zoom lever: Press lightly for a slow zoom;
press harder for faster zooms.
The fastest zoom speed can be
achieved with [ VARIABLE]. Among
the fixed zoom speeds, [ SPEED 3] is
the fastest and [ SPEED 1] the
slowest.
Mode switch:
[ON], [ OFF]
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.
