Description

 

Set to compensate for camcorder shake/blur.

 

• Off*: Disables the function.

 

On ( 

 ): Enables to compensate for camcorder shake.

OIS Duo

Plus ( 

 ): Enables the function.

 

OIS Plus improves on existing Optical Image Stabilization

 

 

 

 

by allowing the camcorder lens to shift over a wider range

 

 

of motion in wide/tele zoom position. This allows the

 

 

camcorder to compensate for greater degrees of camcorder

 

 

shake and delivers a stunning level of image smoothness.

Set to record close-up images of very small objects.

Off*: Disables the function.

On (  ): Focuses on a small portion of a large object at a tele angle.

 

• When recording in the Tele Macro mode, the focus

 

speed may be lowered.

 

• Use a tripod (not supplied) to prevent camcorder

 

shake in the Tele Macro mode.

Tele Macro

• Avoid shadows when recording in the Tele Macro mode.

• As the distance to the subject decreases, focusing

 

 

area narrows.

When the distance between the camcorder and a subject is too small and the camcorder cannot focus, press the [Zoom (W)] button and then adjust the focal distance between the camcorder and the subject.

When the Tele Macro function is On and the camcorder magnifies a subject in tele mode, the minimum focal distance between the camcorder and a subject is 50cm.
