This makes skin colors appear softer for a more
attractive appearance.
This is more effective if you record a person closely
from the torso up.
This function allows you to record color images in
_ VIBEO H PHOTO _ very low light situations. (Minimum required
illumination: approx. 2 Ix)
Fade:
• The thumbnails of scenes recorded using
fade in become black (or white).
0 Help mode:
• Recording and function settings cannot be
performed while in help mode.

• You cannot switch to web mode while
recording.

• PRE-REC is canceled in the following
cases.
If you change the mode.
If you press the MENU button.

3 hours have elapsed
• After setting PRE-REC, if recording starts
in less than 3 seconds, or while the PRE-
REC indication flashes within about
3 seconds after initiating the quick start
operation, motion pictures taken
3 seconds before pressing the recording
startlstop button cannot be recorded.
• The thumbnail displays for recorded
scenes will be the initial images from
recorded scenes.
• The date indication for scenes recorded
using the PRE-REC function will be the
date when the starttstop button is pressed.
Therefore, the date indication when
displaying thumbnails or during playback
may be different from the date when the
recording actually started.
Intelligent contrast control:
• If there are extremely dark or bright parts
or the brightness is insufficient, the effect
may not be clear.
(_ Soft skin mode:
• if the background or anything else in the
scene has colors similar to the skin color,
they will also be smoothed.
• if the brightness is insufficient, the effect
may not be clear.
• if you record a person in the distance, the
face may not be recorded clearly. In this
case, cancel Soft skin mode or zoom in on
the face (close-up) to record.
Color night rec:
• Recorded scene is seen as if frames
were missed.
• if set in a bright place, the screen may
become washed out for a while.
• Bright dots that are usually invisible may
be seen, but this is not a malfunction.
