•Even in flexible recording mode, the camcorder can help you with the settings. For example, you can use the Special Scene recording pro-
grams (
55) to set at once all the optimal settings to match special recording conditions.
•Under certain conditions, the Smart AUTO icon that appears on the screen may not match the actual scene. Especially when shooting against orange or blue backgrounds, the Sunset or one of the Blue
skies icons may appear and the colors may not look natural. In such case, we recommend recording in [ 
Programmed AE] mode (
55).
Playback
Press the 
(camera/play) button to switch the camcorder between camera (recording) mode and playback mode. You can press 
when the camcorder is off to turn it on directly in playback mode.
