Advanced Techniques

•While you zoom to a distant subject.

•While you walk around.

•While you record from inside a moving vehicle.

1.Press the EIS button. The EIS icon appears in the viewfinder or LCD monitor.

2.Press the Start/Stop button to start recording. When EIS is engaged the viewfinder or LCD monitor image shakes with a slight delay.

Note: EIS may not function if you use a wide or tele converter lens.

Note: When the EIS function is engaged in the vicinity of the zoom range with "ZOOM" displayed in the viewfinder or LCD monitor, when moved from the wide-angle end, the image size will change, but this is normal.

Note: When the EIS function is engaged, the picture becomes rough.

Note: When the EIS function is engaged, the angle of view at the wide-angle end becomes narrower.

Note: It is recommended that you do not use the EIS function when using a tripod. The sensor would detect vibrations from the tripod in which case the picture would be blurred.

Using Quick Edit

Use quick edit to search for the end of previously recorded material, find a particular spot on your tape, begin editing, or record new material. While the camera is in record/pause mode hold down the F.FWD, REW/REVIEW, or PLAY button and visually search the tape. Release the button and the camcorder stops the tape at the exact position you selected.
