is turned off.
●Following [Rec] menu settings will be automatically adjusted and cannot be selected
manually.
[Sensitivity], [White Balance], [i.Exposure], [Min. Shtr Speed], [Color Mode]
●Notes on the [Miniature Effect] setting
• The recording screen is displayed with a slight delay when compared to usual
recording.
• No audio is recorded for motion pictures.
• Portrait orientation recording does not affect the blurred part. (The left and right edges
will be blurred.)
• When a motion picture is recorded, the finished recording will be approximately 1/8th
of the actual recorded time period. (If you record a motion picture for 8 minutes,
the resulting motion picture recording time will be approximately 1 minute.) The
recordable time displayed on the camera is approx. 8 times longer than actual time
needed for recording. When the recording mode is changed, be sure to check the
recordable time.
• If you stop recording motion pictures too soon, the camera may continue recording
until a certain time. Hold the camera until the camera stops recording.
• When you take a picture using a large picture size setting, the screen will become
dark for a certain period of time after the picture is taken. However, this occurs due to
signal processing and is not a defect.
●Notes on the [Soft Focus] setting
• The recording screen is displayed with a slight delay when compared to usual
recording. (When this effect is set, the recorded motion picture is played back like a
frame dropping.)
• When you take a picture using a large picture size setting, the screen will become
dark for a certain period of time after the picture is taken. However, this occurs due to
signal processing and is not a defect.
