Manual exposure is recommended in situations listed below :

•When shooting using reverse lighting or when the background is too bright.

•When shooting on a reflective natural background such as at the beach or when skiing.

•When the background is overly dark or the subject is bright.

•The exposure also can be set in the shortcut menu. ➥page 29

•EASY. Q mode automatically sets the "Exposure" to "Auto".

•If you manually change the exposure value when "Scene Mode(AE)" function is selected, manual changes are applied first.

Anti-Shake(EIS)provides a more stable image when:

•Recording while zooming

•Recording small objects

•Recording while walking or moving

•Recording through the window of a moving vehicle

•EASY. Q mode automatically sets the "Anti-Shake(EIS)"to "On" while using EASY. Q.

•When "Anti-Shake(EIS) : On" is specified, there will be a slight difference between the actual movement and the movement on screen.

•Large camcorder shake may not be entirely corrected even if "Anti-Shake(EIS) : On" is specified. Firmly hold the memory camcorder with both hands.

•It is recommended that you specify "Anti-Shake(EIS): Off " when using the memory camcorder on a desk or tripod.

•When you record pictures with 34x or more magnification and the "Anti-Shake(EIS)"is "On" in dim places, after-images may stand out. In this case, we recommend using a tripod and turning the "Anti-Shake(EIS)"to "Off".
