• While in the optical zoom range, the FlexiZone
frame moves freely around the screen. However,
once you enter digital zoom range, the frame
becomes locked in the centre of the screen and you
are unable to use AE Lock. Zoom back out from
digital to optical, and the frame blinks twice,
signaling that you are again free to move the frame
around the screen.
Sports
This program is useful for recording high-speed
sports scenes in brightly lit conditions. Normal
playback will be slightly jerky, but you will get clear
images which can be analysed frame by frame during
slow or still playback on a VCR.
Portrait
Use this program outdoors to make the subject stand
out from a softened foreground and background. It
works well for still-lifes and close-ups. The effect is
most noticeable when the zoom position is between
the middle range and the telephoto end. Focus
manually for maximum accuracy.
Spotlight
This program is designed for recording spotlit scenes,
such as on a stage. The exposure is automatically
adjusted for glare-free recordings of subjects lit by a
concentrated light source.
Sand & Snow
Use this program in places where the background is
so bright that the subject appears underexposed in the
viewfinder — a sunny beach or ski resort, for
example.
Notes:
• You can focus manually in any specialised AE program.
• Avoid changing programs during recording as the brightness of the image may change
suddenly.
• The specialised AE programs are not suitable for all kinds of lighting. The image may
flicker, or a bright line may appear on the screen if you use them in the wrong lighting
conditions.
