[Digital Zoom]: Determines the operation of the digital zoom.
The color of the indicator indicates the zoom.
•When [G 40x] or [H 200x] is selected, the camcorder
will switch automatically to digital zoom when you zoom in
beyond the optical zoom range.
With the digital zoom the image is digitally processed, so
the image resolution will deteriorate the more you zoom in.
For an explanation of the digital tele-converter, see Digital
Tele- Con ver ter (0 53).
[Focus Assistance]: When focus assistance is activated, the image at the center of the screen is
magnified to help you focus manually (0 46).
Using focus assistance will not affect the recordings. It will be cancelled automatically after
4 seconds or when you start recording.
[Auto Slow Shutter]: The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter speeds to obtain brighter
recordings in places with insufficient lighting.
Minimum shutter speed used: 1/30; 1/12 when the frame rate is set to [E PF24] or [ 24P];
1/15 when it is set to [
o PF30].
The auto slow shutter can only be activated when the recording program is set to [A Programmed
AE], but the setting will not change even if you set the camcorder to mode.
If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [B Off].
[ND Filter]: Only available during the [C Aperture-Pri. AE] and [y Manual Exposure] recording
programs. When set to [O Automatic], the ND filter can be selected when adjusting the aperture.
Depending on the selected setting, [ND1/2], [ND1/4] or [ND1/8] will appear on the screen next to the
aperture value.
