• When focus priority is activated, if face detection (

70) 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. You can select the degree of compensation.

[

Dynamic]: This setting compensates for a higher degree of cam-

corder shake, such as when shooting while walking, and is more effective

as the zoom approaches full wide angle.

[

Standard]: This setting compensates for a lower degree for cam-

corder shake, such as when shooting while remaining stationary, and is

suitable for shooting natural-looking scenes.

[

]: This setting compensates for camcorder shake when

shooting photos.

•

If the degree of camcorder shake is too high, the image stabilizer may

not be able to fully compensate.

•

When recording movies with the optional Wide-converter or Tele-con-

verter attached to the camcorder, set the image stabilizer to [

Stan-

dard].

• We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [

Off] when using a

tripod.

[AGC Limit]:

Sets a maximum value for the automatic gain control.

•

When recording in dark places, the lower the maximum AGC limit, the

darker the scene will be recorded.

•

The highest gain levels will be available when set to [

Automatic].

• This function can also be assigned to the custom key/dial (

81).

[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

[

PF24]; 1/15 when it is set to [

PF30].

• 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.

[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
