About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause a fire or explosion. WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire. The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold temperatures (below 10C/50F), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance. (If youre using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)

Zoom In Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards T. Zoom Out Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards W. The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the quicker the zoom action. NOTES: Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in Record-Standby, lock the focus by using the manual focus ( pg. 43), then zoom in or out in Record mode. Zooming is possible to a maximum of 400X, or it can be switched to 10X magnification using the optical zoom ( pg. 47). Zoom magnification of over 10X is done through Digital image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom. During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer. Digital zoom cannot be used when digital image processing, such as Picture Wipe/Dissolve ( pg. 40, 41) or Video Echo ( pg. 39), is activated. Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm (2") to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is set all the way to W. Also see TELE MACRO in the Menu Screen on page 48.

SHUTTER 1/60The shutter speed is fixed at 1/60th of a second. Black bands that usually appear when shooting a TV screen become narrower. 1/100The shutter speed is fixed at 1/100th of a second. The flickering that occurs when shooting under a fluorescent light or mercury-vapor lamp is reduced.
MONOTONE Like black and white films, your footage is shot in B/W. Used together with the Cinema mode, it enhances the classic film effect.
SPORTS (Variable Shutter Speed: 1/250 1/4000) This setting allows fast-moving images to be captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable slow-motion playback. The faster the shutter speed, the darker the picture becomes. Use the shutter function under good lighting conditions. SNOW Compensates for subjects that may otherwise appear too dark when shooting in extremely bright surroundings such as in the snow. SPOTLIGHT Compensates for subjects that may otherwise appear too bright when shooting under extremely strong direct lighting such as spotlights. NOTE: SPOTLIGHT has the same effect as 3 with the exposure control ( pg. 44).
CLASSIC FILM Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.
STROBE Your recording looks like a series of consecutive snapshots. SLOW (Slow Shutter) Lights dark subjects or areas even brighter than they would be under good natural lighting. Use SLOW only in dark areas. SLOW 4X Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity to allow shooting in dark environments. SLOW 10X Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity further to allow shooting in even darker environments. NOTES: When using SLOW, the image takes on a strobelike effect. If the manual focus indicator blinks when SLOW is used, adjust focus manually and use a tripod.
TWILIGHT Makes evening scenes look more natural. White Balance ( pg. 45) is initially set to , but can be changed to your desired setting. When Twilight is chosen, the camcorder automatically adjusts the focus from approx. 10 m (32 ft) to infinity. From less than 10 m (32 ft), adjust the focus manually. SEPIA Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a classic look.
VIDEO ECHO Adds a ghost to the subject, giving your recording a fantasy feeling. Zoom magnification of over 10X is not available.

FADE/WIPE SELECTION ( , , , , and , ) , , ,
Fade or Wipe works when video recording is started or when you stop recording.

Fade/Wipe Effects

These effects let you make pro-style scene transitions. Use them to spice up the transition from one scene to the next. You can also vary transitions from scene to scene. IMPORTANT: Some Fade/Wipe Effects cannot be used with certain modes of Program AE with special effects ( pg. 38, 39). If an unusable Fade/ Wipe Effect is selected, its indicator blinks or goes out.

Iris Like the pupil of the human eye, it contracts in welllit environments to keep too much light from entering, and dilates in dim environments to allow in more light.

White Balance Adjustment

A term that refers to the correctness of color reproduction under various lighting. If the white balance is correct, all other colors will be accurately reproduced. The white balance is usually adjusted automatically. However, more advanced camcorder operators control this function manually to achieve a more professional color/tint reproduction.
