*: These settings
allow fast-moving images to be captured one frame at a
time, for vivid, stable slow-motion playback by fixing
shutter speed variables. Use these settings when an
automatic adjustment does not work well, using
SPORTS
mode. The faster the shutter speed, the darker the
picture becomes. Use the shutter function under good
lighting conditions.
SPORTS
(Variable Shutter Speed: 1/250 – 1/4000):

one frame at a time, for vivid, stable slow-motion
playback. The faster the shutter speed, the darker the

natural. White Balance (

Twilight is chosen, the camcorder automatically adjusts
the focus from approx. 10 m (32 ft) to infinity. From less
than 10 m, adjust the focus manually. The flash does not
fire in this mode.
SEPIA
: Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like
old photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a
classic look.

your footage is shot in B/W. Used together with the
Cinema mode, it enhances the “classic film” effect.
