[Flicker Reduction]: When set to [k Automatic], the camcorder will automatically detect and reduce flicker. • When recording under light sources such as fluorescent, mercury or halogen lamps, the screen may flicker depending on the shutter speed. You may be able to avoid flicker by setting the shutter speed mode to a value matching the frequency of the local electrical system: 1/100 for 50 Hz systems, 1/60 for 60 Hz systems. [Conversion Lens]: When you attach to the camcorder the optional TL-H58 Tele-converter or WA-H58 Wide Attachment, set the appropriate conversion lens setting. The camcorder will then optimize the image stabilization and adjust the minimum object distance. The minimum object distance throughout the entire zoom range will be 130 cm (4 ft. 3 in.) for the tele-converter and about 60 cm (2 ft.) for the wide attachment. When you select [¿ WA-H58] and you zoom in, the zoom position marker will stop before reaching the end of the zoom bar.
