If you are going to hold the camera to shoot,
you can use the vibration reduction function to
achieve shooting with minimal vibration (camera
shake).
appears on the screen when this function is

To release the function, press the OIS (Optical
Image Stabilizer) button. When the OIS button
is pressed again, the function is reactivated.

Shooting techniques for different targets (cont.)
Wind noise reduction
When “ON” has been selected as the WIND
CUT item setting on the RECORDING SETUP
screen using the menus (P68-P71), the noise
created by wind blowing into the microphone on
very windy days can be reduced. (P76)
When the wind noise reduction is activated,
WIND CUT appears on the screen.
OThe wind noise reduction function works for
both the internal microphone and external
microphone.
OIf there is any bass sound, some of it may be
reduced along with the wind noise.
Movie-like shooting
When “4. MOVIE-LIKE” has been selected as
the SCENE FILE item setting on the SCENE
FILE screen using the menus (P68-P71), you
can shoot movie-like images. (P73)
When SUPER_IR or COLOR_NS has been
selected as the high-sensitivity shooting
mode, images are shot with the CCD taking
about 16 times more time than usual to
accumulate the signals.
As a result, very small brilliant points that are
not usually visible may be recorded as the
images: this is normal and does not indicate
an error or malfunctioning.
OThe aperture (IRIS) cannot be adjusted with
the multi dial in the IR and SUPER_IR
modes; however, both the aperture and gain
can be adjusted in the COLOR_NS mode.
(P44)
OYou can change the lighting control of the IR
light using the IR LED item on the OTHER
FUNCTIONS screen. (P80)
ODo not look directly at the IR light when it is
on.
ODo not cover the IR light with your hand or
anything else.
OWhen using the camera-recorder’s IR light,
remove the lens hood before you start to
shoot. (P18)
OFor shooting at an even higher sensitivity, we
recommend that you use the optional IR light
(AG-YRL30G).
OPerforming high-sensitivity shooting may give
rise to such problems as after-image, a
deterioration in the image quality and
difficulties in focusing.
