Operating Modes
In this manual, the camcorder’s operating modes are indicated
with a bar of icons. A full icon in blue (

function described can be used in that particular operating
mode; a grayed-out icon (

) indicates the function is not avail-
able in that operating mode. Icons are divided into movie format
(

Recording

on in recording mode. In recording mode, the camcorder’s oper-
ating mode is determined by the selected shooting mode
(

the shooting mode selection screen.
