≥The unit can focus on the subject at a distance of approx. 50 cm (20q).

≥If you set the tele macro function when the zoom is set to less than 16.8k, the zoom is automatically adjusted to 16.8k.

≥Tele Macro function is canceled when the zoom magnification becomes lower than 16.8k.

≥After setting PRE-REC, if recording starts in less than 3 seconds, or while the PRE-REC indication flashes within about 3 seconds after initiating the Quick start operation, 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.

Soft skin mode

This makes skin colors appear softer for a more attractive appearance. This is more effective if you record a person closely from the torso up.

≥If the background or anything else in the scene has colors similar to the skin color, they will also be smoothed.

≥If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear.

≥If you record a person in the distance, the face may not be recorded clearly. In this case, cancel Soft Skin Mode or zoom in on the face (close-up) to record.
