Additional Information
[AF Mode]:
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-mov-
ing 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].
[Focus Priority]:
When the focus priority is activated, the camcorder
records a photo only after the focus has been adjusted automatically. You
can also select which AF frames to use.
[
AiAF Frames]: One or more AF frames out of the nine frames avail-
able are automatically selected and the focus is fixed on them.
[
Center Frame]: A single focusing frame appears in the center of the
screen and the focus is automatically fixed on it.
[
Off]: No AF frame will appear and the photo will be recorded immedi-
ately after you press
.
• When the recording mode is set to [
Fireworks], focus priority is auto-
matically set to [
Off].
• When focus priority is activated, if face detection (
68) is also acti-
vated, the camcorder will focus on the face of the main subject (white
face-detection frame) when one is detected.
[Image Stabilizer]:
The image stabilizer compensates for camcorder
shake even at full telephoto.
• The image stabilizer is designed to compensate for a normal degree of
camcorder shake.
• We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [
Off] when using a
tripod.
[Auto Slow Shutter]:
The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter
speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting.
• Minimum shutter speed used: 1/25; 1/12 when the frame rate is set to
[
PF25].
• The auto slow shutter can only be activated when the recording pro-
gram is set to [
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 [
Off].
• If
(camcorder shake warning) appears, we recommend stabilizing
the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a tripod.
