Using the Full
Range of Features Portrait
Use this program outdoors to make subjects
stand out from a softened foreground and
background. It works well for still-lifes and
close-ups. The effect is most noticeable when
the zoom position is between the middle range
and the telephoto end. Focus manually for
maximum accuracy, and be careful when
recording action scenes, as this program may
cause fast moving objects to shudder.
PORTRAIT
The simplest way to use the camcorder is with
the program selector set to the [ position. The
camcorder will take care of focus, exposure and
other adjustments, leaving you free to point and
shoot.
Easy Recording
Sports
This program is useful for recording high-speed
sports scenes in brightly lit conditions. Normal
playback will be slightly jerky, but you will get
clear images which can be analyzed frame by
frame during slow or paused playback.

Auto
This is the same as the Easy Recording program,
except that you now have the option of using
any of the camcorder’s manual functions.
