Option available only for recording movies.
[Digital Zoom]: Determines the operation of the digital zoom.
The color of the indicator indicates the zoom.
•When [G 40x] or [H 200x] is selected, the camcorder
will switch automatically to digital zoom when you zoom in
beyond the optical zoom range.
• With the digital zoom the image is digitally processed, so
the image resolution will deteriorate the more you zoom in.
• For an explanation of the digital tele-converter, see Digital
Tele-Converter (0 59).
[Focus Assistance]: When focus assistance is activated, the image at the center of the screen is
magnified to help you focus manually (0 51).
• Using focus assistance will not affect the recordings. It will be cancelled automatically after
4 seconds or when you start recording.
[Auto Slow Shutter]: 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 [E PF24] or [ 24P];
1/15 when it is set to [
o PF30].
• The auto slow shutter can only be activated when the recording program is set to [A 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 [B Off].
[ND Filter]: Only available during the [C Aperture-Pri. AE] and [y Manual Exposure] recording
programs. When set to [O Automatic], the ND filter can be selected when adjusting the aperture.
Depending on the selected setting, [ND1/2], [ND1/4] or [ND1/8] will appear on the screen next to the
aperture value.
