Intelligent contrast control:

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

Intelligent exposure:

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

Fade:

The thumbnails of scenes recorded using fade in become black (or white).

Soft Skin Mode:

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.

Tele macro:

The tele macro function is canceled when the zoom magnification becomes lower than 12.

MagicPix:

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.

Self-timer:

The Self-timer Standby Mode is canceled when you press the recording start/stop button to start motion picture recording.

Setting the self-timer to ￿2 is a good way to

prevent image shake when the button is pressed while using a tripod etc.

Built-in flash:

Set the flash to where using a flash is prohibited.

If the ￿ indication etc. flashes when the button is pressed halfway, the flash is not activated.

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.

A conversion lens (optional) can block the flash and may cause a vignetting effect.

Red eye reduction:

The flash is activated 2 times.

Red eye phenomenon may appear depending on the recording conditions.

When faces are detected in the Intelligent Auto Mode, the red eye reduction is set to on.

Headphone volume adjustment:

Headphone volume adjustment cannot be used when the viewfinder is in use.
