Effect

PRE-REC	This allows recording of the pictures and sound to start
(SDR-H60/SDR-H50)	approximately 3 seconds before the recording start/stop
[SD]	button is pressed.
	[ PRE-REC] appears on the screen and the unit repeats the
	update by recording motion pictures for about 3 seconds onto
	the built-in memory and then deleting them.
	≥ Aim this unit at the subject and position it securely.
	Press the recording start/stop button to start
	recording.
	≥ Images and audio are recorded for about 3 seconds before
	pressing the recording start/stop button.
	≥ There is no beep sound.
	≥ After recording starts, the PRE-REC setting is cancelled.
ØSelf-timer	This is for recording still pictures using the timer. Use this
	function to include yourself in the picture.
	Press the recording start/stop button, the [Ø]
	indication blinks for about 10 seconds and then
	the still picture is recorded.
	≥ After recording, the self-timer is cancelled.

Fade:

≥The thumbnails of scenes recorded using fade

in become black (or white).

Help mode:

≥When the help mode is used, functions cannot be set.

≥When the help mode is used, motion pictures and still pictures cannot be recorded.

Colour night view:

≥Recorded scene is seen as if frames were missed.

≥The colour night view function makes the signal charging time of CCD up to approximately 25k longer than usual, so that dark scenes can be recorded brightly. For this reason, bright dots that are usually invisible may be seen, but this is not a malfunction.

≥If set in a bright place, the screen may become

washed out for a while.

Soft skin mode:

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

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

≥You may not be able to see the face clearly when recording a distant person. In this case,

cancel soft skin mode or zoom in on the face.

PRE-REC:

≥When the remaining time left for recording motion pictures is less than 1 minute, PRE- REC cannot be set.

≥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.

≥When the recording start/stop button is pressed, image shake and operation sound may be recorded.

≥The thumbnail of the scenes recorded using the PRE-REC function will be the top image of the scenes actually recorded.

≥The date indication for scenes recorded using the PRE-REC function will be the date when the start/stop button is pressed. Therefore, the date indication when displaying thumbnails or during playback may be different from the date when the recording actually started.
