Panasonic HDC-SD800P Red-Eye Reduction, Self-timer, Intelligent exposure, Backlight compensation

≥The available range of the flash is approx. 1 m to 2.5 m (3.3 feet to 8.2 feet) in dark places.

≥Using the flash fixes a shutter speed to 1/500 or slower.

Red-Eye Reduction

Reduces the phenomena where human eyes become red from flashes.

≥The flash is activated 2 times.

≥The red-eye phenomenon tends to appear in certain recording conditions and more with some people than with others.

≥When faces are detected in the Intelligent Auto Mode, the Red-Eye Reduction is set to on.

Self-timer

This is for recording still pictures using the timer.

Each time the icon is selected, the indication changes by one setting in the following order: Ø10 (Records after 10 seconds) # Ø2 (Records after 2 seconds) # setting canceled

≥When the button is pressed, a still picture is recorded after the Ø10 or Ø2 display and the recording lamp flashes for the time which has been set. After recording, the Self-timer is canceled.

≥In Auto Focus Mode, if the button is pressed halfway once and then fully, the lens

focuses on the subject when the button is pressed halfway. If the button is pressed fully all at once, the lens focuses on the subject just before recording.

To stop the timer midway through

Touch [CANCEL].

≥Setting the Self-timer to Ø2 is a good way to prevent image shake when the button is pressed while using a tripod etc.

≥Self-timer can be stopped midway by pressing MENU on the remote control.

Intelligent exposure

This brightens dark areas so the image can be recorded clearly.

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

Backlight compensation

This makes the image brighter to prevent darkening of a backlit subject.

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.
