STEADYSHOTYou can compensate for camera shake (the default setting is [ON]).

Set [STEADYSHOT] to [OFF] () when using a tripod (optional) or the conversion lens (optional), then the image becomes natural.

PROGRES.REC (DCR-HC96)

You can reduce image blur when recording moving pictures on tapes, intended for import to your computer as still images, by setting [PROGRES.REC] to [ON] (). This is especially useful for analyzing high- speed action, such as sports scenes.

To cancel [PROGRES.REC], touch [OFF].

Note on the progressive recording mode In a normal TV broadcast, the screen is divided into 2 finer fields and these are displayed in turn, every 1/60 of a second. Thus, the actual picture displayed in an instant covers only half of the apparent picture area. In progressive recording, the picture is fully displayed with all the pixels. A picture recorded in this mode appears clearer, but a moving subject may appear awkward.

•When recording under fluorescent light or a light bulb, the screen may flicker. Touch [OFF] to return to the normal recording.
