TWILIGHT
: Makes evening scenes look
more natural. White ba
lance (墌pg.43) is
automatically set to “ ”, but can be changed to
your desired setting. When Twilight is chosen, the
camcorder automatically adjusts the focus from
approx. 10 m to infinity. From less than 10 m,
adjust the focus manually. The flash does not fire
in this mode.
PORTRAIT: The subject in the front is
accentuated by blurring the background.
SPORTS
(Variable Shutter Speed:1/250 – 1/4000):
This setting allows fast-moving images to be
captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable
slow-motion playback. The faster the shutter
speed, the darker the picture becomes. Use the
shutter function under good lighting conditions.
SNOW: Compensates for subjects that may
otherwise appear too dark when shooting in
extremely bright surroundings such as in the
snow.
