Advanced Image Stabilization
The image stabilizer reduces camcorder blur (blur due to the cam-
corder moving) so you can get nice, stable shots. Select the image
stabilization mode according to the shooting conditions.

NOTES
• The image stabilizer may not be able to successfully eliminate all blur if
the camcorder or the subject is moving too much.
• The image stabilizer may not work well on subjects with low contrast,
with a recurring, repetitive pattern or without vertical lines.
• When [Image Stabilizer] is set to [
Dynamic], if the background’s
movement does not appear natural, select [
Standard] or [
Off].
Pre-Recording
The camcorder will start recording 3 seconds before you press
, ensuring you do not miss important shooting opportunities.
This is especially useful when it is difficult to predict when to start
recording.
Operating modes:
[
Dynamic]
Compensates for a higher degree of camcorder
shake, such as when shooting while walking, and is more effec-
tive as the zoom approaches full wide angle.
[
Standard]
Compensates for a lower degree of camcorder
shake, such as when shooting while remaining stationary, and is
suitable for shooting natural-looking scenes. With this setting,
the field of view will be wider at full wide-angle.
[
Off]
Use this setting when the camcorder is mounted on a tri-
pod.
