NOTES NOTES
• When infrared recording is activated, the following changes take place.
- The camera switches to automatic gain and shutter speed adjustment, the aperture is fixed at maximum
aperture, and the ND filter is retracted and cannot be used.
- The AGC limit, light metering, AE shift and white balance settings cannot be used.
- When the camera switches to infrared mode, the autofocus may be activated momentarily and the focus
point may change. Check that the focus is correct.
• Depending on the light source, autofocus may not work well while zooming.
• In infrared mode the camera's sensor is considerably more sensitive to near-infrared light. Do not point the
lens at strong light or heat sources when infrared recording is activated. If there are such light/heat sources in
the picture, we recommend shielding the lens before switching the camera to infrared mode.
• If you set an assignable button to [IR Rec Color] (A 115), you can press the button to change the color of the
recorded picture.
