movies.
• The date and time are not superimposed onto
movies.
• When shooting movies (MPEG MOVIE) with
Multipoint AF, the distance to the center of the
screen is estimated as an average, so the AF
works even with a certain amount of vibration.
The Focus range select mode (Center, Right,
Left, Top and Bottom) (MVC-CD400) and the
Center AF mode (MVC-CD250) focus using
the AF range finder, so this is convenient when
you want to focus only on the subject.
