[A.SL SHUTTER]:
The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter speeds to obtain
brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting.
• The camcorder uses shutter speeds down to 1/25.
• If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [
OFF].
[IMG STAB]:
The image stabilizer compensates for camcorder shake even at full telephoto.
• The image stabilizer is designed to compensate for a normal degree of camcorder
shake.
The image stabilizer may also not be able to compensate
for all movement when recording moving subjects.
• The image stabilizer may not be effective when recording in dark places with
[A.SL SHUTTER] set to [
ON] or using the [
NIGHT] recording program.
•
The image stabilizer may not work well on subjects with low
contrast, with a recurring, repetitive pattern or without vertical lines.
