Pre-Recording, Powered is, 82 Š Video | Canon HFM406, HFM46 specification

Powered IS

You can use Powered IS to make the image stabilization even more powerful. Powered IS is most effective when you are stationary and zooming in on far subjects using high zoom ratios (the more you approach the telephoto end). Holding the LCD panel with your left hand will add to the stability of the shot.

Press and hold Yas long as you want to activate Powered IS.

• appears in yellow, while Powered IS is activated. The degree of camcorder shake will be indicated by

the icon itself ( - ), but you can turn off this indication with the 7 8[Camcorder Shake Indicator] setting.

•You can change the operation of the Ybutton (long press or toggle on/off) with the 68[POWERED IS Button] setting.

NOTES

•If the degree of camcorder shake is too high, the image stabilizer may not be able to fully compensate.

•For surveying and following shots, when you pan the camcorder from side to side or tilt it up and down, we recommend setting the IS mode

to [ Dynamic] or [ Standard].

Pre-Recording

The camcorder will start recording 3 seconds before you press g, ensuring you do not miss important shooting opportuni- ties. This is especially useful when it is difficult to predict when to start recording.
