• When recording movies with the optional Wide-converter or Tele-con-
verter, set the image stabilizer to [
Standard].
[Auto Slow Shutter]:
The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter
speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting.
• Minimum shutter speed used: 1/30; 1/12 when the frame rate is set to
[
PF24]; 1/15 when it is set to [
PF30].
• The auto slow shutter can only be activated when the recording pro-
gram is set to [
Programmed AE], but the setting will not change even
if you set the camcorder to
mode.
• If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [
Off].
• If
(camcorder shake warning) appears, we recommend stabilizing
the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a tripod.

[Wind Screen]:
The camcorder automatically reduces the background
sound of wind when recording outdoors.
• Some low-frequency sounds will be suppressed along with the sound
of wind. When recording in surroundings unaffected by wind or if you
want to record low-frequency sounds, we recommend setting the wind
screen to [
Off
].

Helps prevent audio distortions in due to high
audio recording levels.
• Set the microphone attenuator to [
On
] when the audio record-
ing level (

When the microphone attenuator is activated,
appears on the
screen.
