[A.SL SHUTTER]: The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting.

The camcorder uses shutter speeds down to 1/30.

If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [ OFF].

[IMG STAB]: The image stabilizer compensates for camcorder shake even at full telephoto.

The image stabilizer is designed to compensate for a normal degree of camcorder

shake. The image stabilizer may also not be able to compensate for all movement when recording moving subjects.

The image stabilizer may not be effective when recording in dark places with

[A.SL SHUTTER] set to [ ON] or using the [ NIGHT] recording program.

The image stabilizer may not work well on subjects with low contrast, with a recurring, repetitive pattern or without vertical lines.

The image stabilizer cannot be turned off when the mode switch is set to .

We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [ OFF] when using a tripod.

[WIDESCREEN]: The camcorder uses the full width of the image sensor providing high- resolution 16:9 recordings.

Since the screens on the camcorder have an aspect ratio of 16:9, recordings with a 4:3 aspect ratio will appear in the center of the screen with black sidebars.
