Most settings are automatically adjusted in Smart Auto mode. To set or adjust functions on your own,
release the Smart Auto mode fi rst.
You can not access Smart Auto mode while recording. You must set this function before recording.
When the camcorder fails to recognize the recording situation, it records in the basic settings (
).
The camcorder may not select the correct scene depending on shooting conditions, such as camcorder
shake, lighting, and distance to the subject.
If the camcorder detects more than one scene at the same time, Smart Auto prioritizes as follows:
Backlight
Macro
White
Landscape
Night
Indoor
For example, a) If White and Indoor can be applied at the same time, then White is selected and
the
corresponding icon appears.
b) If White and Landscape can be applied at the same time, then White is selected and the
corresponding icon appears.
