Notes on the SteadyShot function

The SteadyShot function may not work properly in the following cases:

When the camera shake is excessive.

When shooting in dark conditions.

When the contrast of the subject and its background is low.

When the subject is in vertical stripes.

When shooting a moving subject.

When attaching a conversion lens (optional).

If you cancel the SteadyShot function

The SteadyShot off indicator appears. Your camcorder prevents excessive compensation for camera-shake.

Notes on VF B.L.

When you select “BRIGHT,” the battery life is reduced by about 10 percent during recording.

When you use a power source other than the battery pack

VF B.L. is automatically set to BRIGHT.
