SHUTTER 1/50: The shutter speed is fixed
at 1/50th of a second. Black bands that usually
appear when shooting a TV screen become
narrower.
SHUTTER 1/120: The shutter speed is
fixed at 1/120th of a second. The flickering that
occurs when shooting under a fluorescent light
or mercury-vapour lamp is reduced.
SHUTTER 1/250/ SHUTTER 1/500/
SHUTTER 1/1000*/ SHUTTER 1/2000*/
SHUTTER 1/4000*: These settings allow fast-
moving images to be captured one frame at a
time, for vivid, stable slow-motion playback by
fixing shutter speed variables. Use these
settings when an automatic adjustment does not
work well, using SPORTS mode. The faster the
shutter speed, the darker the picture becomes.
Use the shutter function under good lighting
conditions.
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.
TWILIGHT: Makes evening scenes look
more natural. White Balance ( ੬ pg. 47) is
automatically set to “ ”, but can be changed to
your desired setting. When Twilight is chosen,
the camcorder automatically adjusts the focus
from approx. 10 m to infinity. From less than 10
m, adjust the focus manually.
SEPIA: Recorded scenes have a brownish
tint like old photos. Combine this with the
Cinema mode for a classic look.
MONOTONE: Like classic black and white
films, your footage is shot in B/W. Used together
with the Cinema mode, it enhances the “classic
film” effect.
CLASSIC FILM*: Gives recorded scenes a
strobe effect.
STROBE*: Your recording looks like a
series of consecutive snapshots.
MIRROR*: Creates a mirror image on the
right half of the screen, juxtaposed to the normal
image on the other half.
* Available only when the VIDEO/MEMORY Switch
is set to “VIDEO”.
The Navigation Function helps you check tape
contents by making thumbnail images on a
memory card.
Before continuing
To use Navigation functions, load a cassette and
memory card, then set the VIDEO/MEMORY
Switch to “VIDEO”.

is loaded.
2

3
Press the Recording Start/Stop Button to

time set in step 1, “ ” appears briefly, then the
image of the point where recording is started is
captured and stored in the memory card as a
thumbnail image.
● If the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed
before “ ” stops blinking, the image of the point
where the loaded memory card is recognised is
captured.
