[Wind Screen]: The camcorder automatically reduces the background
sound of wind when recording outdoors.
• Some low-frequency sounds will be suppressed along with the sound
of wind. When recording in surroundings unaffected by wind or if you
want to record low-frequency sounds, we recommend setting the wind
screen to [1m Off
~/~].
[Microphone Attenuator]: Helps prevent audio distortions in due to high
audio recording levels.
• Set the microphone attenuator to [om On
mDl
when the audio record-
ing level (CO 78) is set correctly but the audio still sounds distorted.
When the microphone attenuator is activated,
mD
appears on the
screen.

[Focus Assist Functions]: When the focus assist functions are activated,
the image at the center of the screen is magnified to help you focus man-
ually (CO 71) .
• When- face detection is activated, instead of the center of the picture,
the camcorder will magnify the face of the person identified as the main
subject.
• Using the focus assist functions will not affect the recordings. They will
be cancelled automatically after 4 seconds or when you start recording.
[Onscreen Markers]: You can display a grid or a horizontal line at the cen-
ter of the screen. Use the markers as a reference to make sure your sub-
ject is framed correctly (vertically and/or horizontally).
• Using the onscreen markers will not affect the recordings.
