• 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.
[
On
]: 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-

• We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [

tripod.

• 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 (
[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
