PRE-REC

This prevents you from missing a shot.

This allows recording of the pictures and sound to start approximately 3 seconds before the recording start/stop button is pressed.

PRE-RECappears on the screen.

Aim the unit at the subject beforehand.

There is no beep sound.

PRE-REC is canceled in the following cases. j If you change the mode

j If you remove the SD card j If you press the MENU button j If you turn the unit off

j If you start recording

j After 3 hours have passed

After setting PRE-REC, if recording starts in less than 3 seconds, motion pictures taken 3 seconds before pressing the recording start/stop button cannot be recorded.

Images displayed on the thumbnail in Playback Mode will differ from the motion pictures displayed at the start of playback.

Color Night Rec

This function allows you to record color images in very low light situations. (Minimum required illumination: approx. 1 lx)

Recorded scene is seen as if frames were missed.

If set in a bright place, the screen may become washed out for a while.

Bright dots that are usually invisible may be seen, but this is not a malfunction.

Using a tripod is recommended.

In darker areas, Auto Focus may focus a bit slower. This is normal.

Intelligent Contrast Control

This brightens parts that are in shadow and difficult to see and suppresses white saturation in bright parts at the same time. Both bright and dark parts can be recorded clearly.

If there are extremely dark or bright parts or the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear.
