• Using the focus assist function will not affect the recordings. The focus assist function

will be cancelled when you start recording.

[FOCUS PRI.]: When the focus priority is activated, the camcorder records a still image

only after the focus has been adjusted automatically. You can also select which AF frames

to use.

[ ON:AiAF]: One or more AF frames out of the nine frames available are automatically

selected and the focus is fixed on them.

[ ON:CENTER]: 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 still image will be recorded immediately after

you press .

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

to [ OFF].

[IMG STAB]: 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.

[FRAME RATE]: Selects the frame rate to be used when recording.

[ PF30]: 30 frames per second, progressive. Use a progressive frame rate to avoid

jagged edges in the picture even when recording fast-moving objects.

[ PF24]: 24 frames per second, progressive. Using this frame rate will give your

recordings a cinematic look. When combined with the [ CINE MODE] recording

program ( 45), the cinematic look will be enhanced.

[A.SL 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.

[REVIEW]: Selects the time to display a still image after it has been recorded to the

memory.

• If you press while reviewing a still image it will continue to be displayed

indefinitely. Press halfway to return to the normal display.
