1Option available only for recording movies.

2Option available only when the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone is attached to the camcorder after having updated the camcorder’s firmware using the memory card supplied with the SM-V1.

[Digital Zoom]: Determines the operation of the digital zoom. The color of the indicator indicates the zoom.

When [G40x] or [H200x] is selected, the camcorder will switch automatically to 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.

For an explanation of the digital tele-converter, see Digital Tele-Converter(052).

[Focus Assistance]: When focus assistance is activated, the image at the center of the screen is magnified to help you focus manually (045).

Using focus assistance will not affect the recordings. It will be cancelled automatically after 4 seconds or when you start recording.

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

Minimum shutter speed used: 1/25; 1/12 when the frame rate is set to [DPF25].

The auto slow shutter can only be activated when the recording program is set to [AProgrammed

AE], but the setting will not change even if you set the camcorder to mode.If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [BOff].

[ND Filter]: Only available during the [CAperture-Pri. AE] and [yManual Exposure] recording programs. When set to [OAutomatic], the ND filter can be selected when adjusting the aperture. Depending on the selected setting, [ND1/2], [ND1/4] or [ND1/8] will appear on the screen next to the aperture value.
