When the camcorder fails to recognise the recording situations, it records in the basic setting (
).
The camcorder may not select the correct scene depending on the external conditions, such as
camcorder shake, lighting, and distance to the subject.
The camcorder cannot detect the portrait mode according to the direction or the brightness of
faces.
If the camcorder detects more than one scene at the same time, Smart Auto prioritizes as follows:
Night
Backlight
Portrait
Macro
Action
Landscape
a) If Night and Portrait are detected at the same time, then Night is selected and the corresponding
icon appears.
b) If Backlight and Portrait are detected at the same time, then Backlight is selected and
corresponding icon appears.
