• 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]; 1/15 when it is set to [o PF30]. • The auto slow shutter can only be activated when the recording pro- gram 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]. • If Y (camcorder shake warning) appears, we recommend stabilizing the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a tripod. • When the recording program is set to [r Underwater] or [s Surface], the auto slow shutter is automatically set to [B Off]. [Wind Screen]: The camcorder automatically reduces the background sound of wind when recording outdoors. • Some low-frequency sounds will be suppressed along with the sound of wind. When recording in surroundings unaffected by wind or if you want to record low-frequency sounds, we recommend setting the wind screen to [B Off Z]. [Microphone Attenuator]: Helps prevent audio distortions due to high audio recording levels. • Set the microphone attenuator to [A On V] when the audio recording level (0 80) is set correctly but the audio still sounds distorted. When the microphone attenuator is activated, V appears on the screen. • When the recording program is set to [r Underwater] or [s Surface], the microphone attenuator is automatically set to [B Off]. [Surround Mic Directionality]: Sets the directionality mode of the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone. [Surround]: Records 5.1ch surround sound. [Zoom]: Records 5.1 audio channels. Additionally, the audio is linked to the zoom position. The larger the subject appears on the screen, the louder the sound will be as well. [Shotgun]: Records monaural audio with a highly directional setting that is most sensitive to sound coming directly from the front of the camcorder/ microphone. Additional Information 153
