Basic Recording
* Under certain conditions, the Smart AUTO icon that appears on the
screen may not match the actual scene. Especially when shooting
against orange or blue backgrounds, the Sunset or one of the Blue
Skies icons may appear and the colors may not look natural. In such
case, we recommend recording in
’
mode (
A
93).
** There are times when the Smart AUTO function cannot detect the
subject, such as during interval recording or when you touch a sub-
ject's face for face detection. In such case,
N
will be displayed as
the Smart AUTO icon.
About the Smart AUTO function
In
N
mode, the camcorder will automatically detect cer-
tain characteristics of the subject, background, lighting con-
ditions, etc.* It will then adjust the exposure and color,
selecting the best settings for the scene you want to shoot.
The icon in the shooting mode button will automatically
change to one of the following Smart AUTO icons.**
