MVC-FD100/FD100H/FD200/FD200H
Recording still
images as
uncompressed files
(TIFF)
This mode simultaneously records still
images in both TIFF format
(uncompressed) and JPEG format
(compressed) when using a "Memory
Stick."
Since this mode records images
without compressing data, the quality
of picture will hardly deteriorate. Use
this mode when you want to print
images with photograph picture
quality.

Tips
Under normal recording conditions, the
camera automatically makes various
adjustments, such as those for the focus,
iris, exposure, and white balance, as it
shoots. However, you may not be able to
carry out your desired shooting
depending on shooting conditions. The
PROGRAM AE function provides you
with near-optimum adjustments to suit
your shooting situation.

• If you shoot a subject within 0.8 m
(31 1/2 inches) while the zoom lever is set
to T side, you cannot get a clear focus. In
such cases, the focal point information
flashes. Move the zoom lever to the W side
until the indicator stops flashing.

selected the Panfocus mode in the
PROGRAM AE function.
