MENU SETTINGS
LIGHT
: The camcorder’s light is on and
the shutter speed is automatically adjusted
(maximum 1/2 sec.).
• During Night-Scope, the following cannot be
activated: “Picture Stabiliser”, “Programme AE
With Special Effects”, “Digital Effects” and
“S.LX” in the menu settings.
• During Night-Scope, it may be difficult for
focusing. To prevent this, use of a tripod is
recommended.
• In the “High Speed Shutter” or “Sports” modes,
picture colour may be adversely affected if the
subject is lit by alternating discharge-type light
sources such as flourescent or mercury-
vapour lights.
OFF
: To cancel the effect.
SPORTS
: High shutter speed clearly
captures fast-moving action.
ND EFFECT
: A black mist darkens the picture, as
when an ND filter is used. Helps to counter the
effects of glare on the subject.
FOG
: Makes the picture look misty white, as
when an external fog filter is attached to the lens.
Softens the image and gives it a “fantasy” look.
This mode cannot be used when the “V.ECHO”
mode (
“Digital Effects”) is activated.
