• In mode, set the flash
mode to (flash off).
• If a trailing afterimage appears, set
the slow shutter to [ OFF].
• If (camcorder shake warning)
appears, we recommend stabilizing
the camcorder, for example, by
mounting it on a tripod.
[ OFF], [ 40X], [ 200X]
Determines the operation of the digital
zoom. The color of the indicator
indicates the zoom as follows.
• When activated, the camcorder will
switch automatically to the 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.
• The digital zoom cannot be used with
the [ NIGHT] recording program.
[VARIABLE], [ SPEED 3],
[SPEED2], [SPEED1]
• When set to [ VARIABLE] the
zoom speed depends on how you
operate the zoom lever: Press lightly
for a slow zoom; press harder for
faster zooms.
• The fastest zoom speed can be
achieved with [ VARIABLE].
Among the fixed zoom speeds,
[ SPEED 3] is the fastest and
[ SPEED 1] the slowest.
[ INSTANT AF], [ NORMAL AF]
Select how fast the autofocus will
operate.
• With [ INSTANT AF] the autofocus
adjusts quickly to a new subject. This
is convenient for example when
changing the focus from a near
subject to a far subject in the
background, or when recording fast-
moving subjects.
• When the optional Wide-converter or
Tele-converter is attached to the
camcorder, it may partially obstruct
the Instant AF sensor. Set the AF
mode to [ NORMAL AF].
