Refer to “Fade/Wipe Effects” (

Refer to “Program AE With Special Effects” (
pg. 47, 48).

Refer to “White Balance Adjustment” and “Manual White Balance Opera- tion” (
pg. 54).

Allows you to set the recording mode (SP or LP) depending on your preference (
pg. 14).

Enables video recording of stereo sound on four separate channels, and is recommended for use when performing audio dubbing. (Equivalent to the 32 kHz mode of previous models)

Enables video recording of stereo sound on two separate channels. (Equivalent to the 48 kHz mode of previous models)

When set to “10X” while using digital zoom, the zoom magnification will reset to 10X since digital zoom will be disengaged.

Allows you to use the Digital Zoom. By digitally processing and magnifying images, zooming is possible from 10X (the optical zoom limit), to a maximum of 40X digital magnification.

Allows you to use the Digital Zoom. By digitally processing and magnifying images, zooming is possible from 10X (the optical zoom limit), to a maximum of 100X digital magnification.

Refer to “Basic Shooting (Snapshot)” (
pg. 27) or “Snapshot (For Video Recording)” (
pg. 51).

Allows you to shoot dark scenes with no picture brightness adjustment.

The overall appearance may be grainy, but the image is bright.

The shutter speed is automatically adjusted (1/25 — 1/200 sec.). Shooting a subject in low or poor lighting at 1/25 sec. shutter speed provides a brighter image than in the AGC mode, but the subject’s movements are not smooth or natural. The overall appearance may be grainy. While the shutter speed

is being automatically adjusted, “” is displayed.

To compensate for unstable images caused by camera-shake, particularly at high magnification.

NOTES:

●Accurate stabilisation may not be possible if hand shake is excessive, or under the following conditions:

•When shooting subjects with vertical or horizontal stripes.

•When shooting dark or dim subjects.

•When shooting subjects with excessive backlighting.

•When shooting scenes with movement in various directions.

•When shooting scenes with low-contrast backgrounds.

●Switch off this mode when recording with the camcorder on a tripod.

●The “ ” indicator blinks or goes out if the Stabiliser cannot be used.

Refer to “5-Second Recording” (
pg. 46).

Allows you to record a few frames only. By using an inanimate object and changing its position between shots, you can record the subject as though it is moving (
pg. 46).

Usually the distance to a subject where the lens is in focus depends on the zoom magnification. Unless there is a distance more than 1 m to the subject, the lens is out of focus at the maximum telephoto setting. When set to “ON”, you can shoot a subject as large as possible at a distance of approx. 60 cm.

•Depending on the zoom position, the lens may go out of focus.
