Notes
In the sports mode, you can record subjects moving at
high speed clearly, providing a high-quality picture
minimum blur in the slow and still playback modes. The
shutter speed and the opening of the iris are automatically
adjusted to maintain the appropriate exposure according
sg
z
to the speed of the object. The sports mode provides more effective recoding
than you can achieve by using the SHUTTER SPEED button.
You may want to use the sports mode when shooting the following subjects:

When shooting sports event from a distance, such as a football game, we tend
to zoom from the wide-angle to the telephoto position to catch the one-time
events. Even under these circumstances, by using the sports mode, you can
get a sharp picture when played back later in the slow or still mode.
¢ The sports mode is effective under sufficient lighting, such as under sunlight.
When used under extremely dark conditions, the shutter speed may not be
shifted to high speeds.
* When recording under fluorescent, sodium, or mercury lamp, the brightness of
the recorded picture may vary, or the color of the recorded picture may
become unnatural.
