aAuto : The video camera automatically judges the subject and surrounding environment for

optimum recording.

Sports : Reduces blurring when recording rapidly moving subjects such as in golf or tennis. If the Sports mode is used under a fluorescent light, the image may flicker: In this case, use the Auto mode for recording.

Portrait : Creates a shallow depth of field so that the person or subject appears against a softened background.

Spotlight : Prevents overexposure of subject portrait face, etc. when strong light strikes the

subject, as in a wedding or on stage.

Surf & Snow : Prevents underexposure of subject portrait face, etc. in a place where reflection of light is intense, such as at the seaside in

midsummer or on a ski slope.

Low Light : Allows user to record in a dark place even with decreased lighting: However, an after- image will appear with a moving subject.

Note that the Low Light mode cannot be used when the recording quality mode is STD.

If there is difficulty in automatically focusing subject image, adjust the focus manually.
