Recording in y (Manual) Mode

When the mode switch is set to y (Manual mode), you can enjoy full
access to the menus and manually adjust the exposure, focus, white
balance and many more of the camcorder’s settings to your prefer-
ence. Even in mode, though, the camcorder can help you with
the settings. For example, by using Special Scene recording programs
(083).
By default, movies and photos are recorded in the built-in memory
( only) or on memory card X ( ). You can select the
memory that will be used to record movies and photos (038).
Please read the IMPORTANT section before using an Eye-Fi card.
1 Set the mode switch to y.
2 Turn on the camcorder.
3 Record movies and photos.
The procedure is the same as in
mode (042).

to the memory.
