Notes on the SteadyShot function
The SteadyShot function may not work properly in the following cases:
•When the camera shake is excessive.
•When shooting in dark conditions.
•When the contrast of the subject and its background is low.
•When the subject is in vertical stripes.
•When shooting a moving subject.
•When attaching a conversion lens (optional).
If you cancel the SteadyShot function
The SteadyShot off indicator
appears. Your camcorder prevents excessive
compensation for camera-shake.
Notes on VF B.L.
When you select “BRIGHT,” the battery life is reduced by about 10 percent during
recording.
When you use a power source other than the battery pack
VF B.L. is automatically set to BRIGHT.
