[mmag÷Stabi_i£e_]s The image stabilizer compensates for camcorder
shake even at full telephoto.
The image stabilizer is designed to compensate for a normal degree of
camcorder shake.
We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [_ OfT 7 when using a
tripod.
[AGC Limit]_ Sets a maximum value for the automatic gain control.
When recording in dark places, the lower the maximum AGC limit, the
darker the scene will be recorded.
The highest gain levels will be available when set to [_ Automatic].
This function can also be assigned to the custom key/dial (83 85).
_Au_e $_ew Shut_÷_]_The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter
speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting.
Minimum shutter speed used: 1/30; 1/12 when the frame rate is set to
[_ PF24]; 1/15 when it is set to [_ PF30].
The auto slow shutter can only be activated when the recording pro-
gram is set to [ P Programmed AE], but the setting will not change even
if you set the camcorder to mode.
If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [_ Oft].
If _ (camcorder shake warning) appears, we recommend stabilizing
the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a tripod.
_ind Se_'e÷_'_]: 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
J
screen to [_ Off oJ_'].
[_ie_ephene Attenuater]: Helps prevent audio distortions in due to high
audio recording levels.
Set the microphone attenuator to [_ On _] when the audio record-
ing level (83 80) is set correctly but the audio still sounds distorted.
When the microphone attenuator is activated, _ appears on the
screen.
