Recording Movies and Photos

Smart AUTO

In mode, the camcorder will automatically detect certain characteristics of the subject, background, lighting conditions, etc. It will then adjust various settings (focus, exposure, color, image stabilization, image quality, among others), selecting the best settings for the scene you want to shoot. The Smart AUTO icon will change to one of the icons in the following table.

1The icon in parentheses appears under backlight conditions.

2This icon will appear under tele macro conditions. Tele macro is activated automatically when you zoom toward the telephoto end and close in on the subject. Tele macro allows you to get closer shots of small subjects and adds a soft focus to the background, so the subject not only looks larger but also stands out more.
