[Digital Zoom]: Determines the

operation of the digital zoom.

The color of the indicator indi-

cates the zoom.

• When activated, the cam-

corder 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 deteri-

orate the more you zoom in.

[AF Mode]: Select how fast the autofocus will operate.

•With [ Instant AF] the autofocus adjusts quickly to a new subject.

This is convenient for example when changing the focus from a near

subject to a far subject in the background, or when recording moving

subjects.

[Image Stabilizer]: The image stabilizer compensates for camcorder

shake. You can select the degree of compensation.

[Dynamic]: This setting compensates for a higher degree of cam-

corder shake, such as when shooting while walking, and is more effective

as the zoom approaches full wide angle.

[Standard]: This setting compensates for a lower degree for cam-

corder shake, such as when shooting while remaining stationary, and is

suitable for shooting natural-looking scenes.

[ Off]: Use this setting when the camcorder is mounted on a tripod.
