viewfinder (DVF-EL100, DVF-L700) that is
attached to the camcorder.

Viewfinder Double Speed Drive
Function
If the system frequency is 23.98P, 24P, 25P, or
29.97P, the image may be blurred and hard to see
because of low frame frequency when you shoot
while swaying the camcorder to the right and the
left.
In this case, you can decrease image blur and
make it easier to see by activating the viewfinder
double speed drive function.
To activate, set "Double Speed Drive" in "VF
Setting" (page 80) of the VF menu to "On."
