Wind noise reduction:
≥ When the Intelligent auto mode is set to on,
[WIND CUT] is set to [ON], and the setting
cannot be changed.
≥ The sound quality may be changed if this
function is activated in strong winds.
Microphone setup:
≥ If you wish to record higher quality sound and
maintain realism even when zooming in, for
instance recording a music recital, we
recommend setting [MIC SETUP] to
[SURROUND].
Microphone level:
≥ When the Intelligent auto mode is on, the
setting is fixed to [AUTO] and cannot be
changed.
≥ When [MIC SETUP] is [ZOOM MIC], the
volume will be different depending on the zoom
rate.
≥ The microphone input level meter shows the
largest volume for the microphones.
≥ You cannot record with the audio completely
muted.
Hi-speed burst shooting:
≥ If you turn off the power or change the mode to
, this function is cancelled.
≥ The maximum number of times you can record
on a media: 15.
(In the case of SD cards it is the maximum
number of recordable scenes per card.)
≥ Colour balance and brightness on the screen
may change with some light sources such as
fluorescent lamps.
≥ Image quality is different from ordinary still
picture recording.
Self-timer:
≥ The self-timer standby mode is cancelled when
you press the recording start/stop button to
start motion picture recording.
≥ Setting the self-timer to [2 SECONDS] is a
good way to prevent image shake when the
button is pressed while using a tripod etc.
Built-in flash:
≥ Set the flash to [OFF] where using a flash is
prohibited.
≥ Do not use the flash with the ND filter (optional)
attached.
≥ If the ß indication etc. flashes when the
button is pressed halfway, the flash is not
activated.
≥ The available range of the flash is approx. 1 m
to 2.5 m in dark places.
≥ Using the flash fixes a shutter speed to 1/500
or slower.
≥ A conversion lens (optional) can block the flash
and may cause a vignetting effect.
Red eye reduction:
≥ The flash is activated 2 times.
≥ Red eye phenomenon may appear depending
on the recording conditions.
≥ When faces are detected in the Intelligent auto
mode, the red eye reduction is set to on.
