the image resolution will deteriorate the more you zoom in.
[AF Mode]: Select how fast the autofocus will operate.
•With [RInstant AF] the autofocus adjusts quickly to a new subject.
This is convenient, for example, when changing the focus from a near
subject to a far subject in the background, or when recording moving
subjects.
•When the optional Wide-converter or Tele-converter is attached to the
camcorder, it may partially obstruct the Instant AF sensor. Set the AF
mode to [SNormal AF].
•When the recording program is set to [rUnderwater] or [sSurface],
the AF mode is automatically set to [SNormal AF].
[Focus Assistance]:When focus assistance is activated, the image at the
center of the screen is magnified to help you focus manually (099).
•Using focus assistance will not affect the recordings. It will be cancelled
automatically after 4 seconds or when you start recording.
[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
[EPF24]; 1/15 when it is set to [
oPF30].
•The auto slow shutter can only be activated when the recording pro-
gram is set to [A 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 [BOff].
•When the recording program is set to [rUnderwater] or [sSurface],
the auto slow shutter is automatically set to [BOff].
[Conversion Lens]: When you attach to the camcorder an optional tele-
converter or wide-converter, set the appropriate conversion lens setting to
obtain optimal image stabilization.
