In the Following Recording Situations, the Motion

≥
A white wall or another single-colour background
behind the subject.
≥
A subject with horizontal, vertical or oblique stripes.
≥
Sudden changes in the surrounding brightness.
≥
Exposure of the Movie Camera to slight shocks or

≥
Recording in a dimly lit place. (The [MOTION
SENSOR] Indication flashes.)
≥
Extremely slow or fast movement of the subject.
≥
Very little movement of the subject.

≥
Super Image Stabilizer
≥
Digital Zoom
≥
Digital Effect
≥

The Following Situation Cancels the Motion
Sensor Function:
≥
If there is a power interruption.
≥
To prevent accidental recording start caused by
Movie Camera movement, the Movie Camera
should be mounted on a tripod or be otherwise
secured in a very stable position.
≥
Although you can select a Digital Effect on the
[DIGITAL EFFECT] Sub-Menu when [M.SENSOR]
on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-Menu is set to [ON],
the Motion Sensor Function has priority and the
selected digital effect is automatically cancelled.
≥
When [M.SENSOR] on the [CAMERA SETUP]
Sub-Menu is set to [ON], it is not possible to
manually start recording by pressing the Recording
Start/Stop Button or to activate the Recording
Check or Camera Search Function.
≥
When you use the AC adaptor to power the Movie
Camera, the Motion Sensor Function Stand-by
Mode will continue when no movement is detected
in the picture, even when the tape has reached the
end during recording. When you use the Battery to
power the Movie Camera, it remains in the Motion
Sensor Function Stand-by Mode until the Battery is
discharged, at which time the [CAMERA] Lamp
flashes for a few seconds.
≥
To ensure correct functioning of the Motion Sensor
Function, the moving subject should be quite large
in the picture. Therefore, when you have zoomed
the lens to the maximum wide-angle position, the
distance between lens and subject should
preferably be within about 2 metres. For subjects at
larger distances, be sure to zoom in accordingly.
≥
The Movie Camera requires time to set up before
recording starts. Therefore, the beginning of
movement is not recorded.
≥
Approximately 1 second after the Movie Camera’s
Motion Sensor has detected movement in the
picture, recording automatically starts.
Approximately 10 seconds after movement in the
picture has stopped, recording automatically stops
and the Movie Camera is in the Motion Sensor
Function Stand-by Mode.
≥
When the Movie Camera remains in the Motion
Sensor Function Stand-by Mode for more than 6
minutes, the Viewfinder or LCD Monitor turns off to
conserve power.
≥
When the Motion Sensor again detects movement in
the picture, recording automatically restarts after
approximately 4 seconds, and the Viewfinder
or LCD Monitor turns on.
