[Image Stabilizer]: The image stabilizer compensates for camcorder shake even at full
telephoto.
• The image stabilizer is designed to compensate for a normal degree of camcorder

shake.

• We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [

Off] when using a tripod.

automatically uses slow shutter speeds to
obtain brighter recordings in places with
insufficient lighting.

you set the camcorder to

example, by mounting it on a tripod.

[Wind Screen]: The camcorder automatically reduces the background sound of wind
when recording outdoors.
• Some low-frequency sounds will be suppressed along with the sound of wind. When

recording in surroundings unaffected by wind or if you want to record low-frequency
sounds, we recommend setting the wind screen to [

Off

].

levels.
• Set the microphone attenuator to [

On] when the audio recording level (

51 ) is set

correctly but the audio still sounds distorted. When the microphone attenuator is
activated,

appears on the screen.
