After recording with EIS set to “Off”, it is recommended that you return the setting to “On” and then turn the DVD Video Camera off, unless you normally record with EIS “Off” setting.

Note:

The EIS setting will be stored in memory even when the

DVD Video Camera is turned off.

It is recommended that you specify “EIS: Off” when using

the DVD Video Camera on a desk or tripod.

When “EIS: On” is specified, there will be a slight

difference between the actual movement and the

movement on screen.

Gross camera shake may not be entirely corrected even

if “EIS: On” is specified. Firmly hold the DVD Video

Camera with both hands.

EIS may not operate correctly when the tele or wide-

conversion lens (optional-user provided) is used.

When you record pictures with setting 10x or more of

magnification and turning the EIS to “ON” in dim places,

after-images may stand out. In this case, we recommend

using a tripod with turning the EIS to “OFF” (only for VDR-

M50PP).

The EIS function cannot be used when still images are

recorded on the card (only for VDR-M70PP).

Reducing Wind Noise during Recording (Wind Cut)

When recording sound from the microphone built into this DVD Video Camera, you can reduce wind noise in recording.

If “Wind Cut: ON” is specified, the low-frequency components in the sound picked up by microphone will be cut off

during recording: This makes it easier to hear the target voice or sound during playback.

You can also use the on-screen display to confirm that Wind Cut has been set.

The Wind Cut setting will be stored in memory even when the DVD Video Camera is turned off.

The Wind Cut function will work only during movie recording.

The Wind Cut function works only with the built-in microphone: It will not function when using an external microphone (P. 68).
