Effect

Soft skin mode		This makes skin colors appear softer for a more attractive
VIDEO	PHOTO	appearance.
		This is more effective if you record a person closely from
		the torso up.
MagicPix		This function allows you to record color images in very low
VIDEO	PHOTO	light situations. (Minimum required illumination: approx.
		1 lx)

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

VIDEO PHOTO

Low light		This makes the scene brighter in dark conditions such as
VIDEO	PHOTO	evening twilight.
Ø Self-timer		This is for recording still pictures using the timer.
	PHOTO	Each time the [Ø] icon is selected, the indication changes by
		one setting in the following order:
		[Ø10] # [Ø2] # setting canceled
		Ø10: Records after 10 seconds
		Ø2:	Records after 2 seconds

≥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.

≥Depending on the time taken to bring the subject into focus, the recording may take longer than set to start.

To stop the timer midway through

Press the MENU button.

Tele macro		This is for close-ups bringing only what you want to record
VIDEO	PHOTO	into focus. By focusing only on the subject and blurring the
		background, the image can be impressive.

≥The unit can focus on the subject at a distance of approx.

50 cm (20q).

≥If the magnification is 10k or less, then it is automatically set to 10k.
