Cautions (Cont’d)
For Auto Focus
The Auto Focus System will not provide stable and accurate focus
adjustment if you are shooting:
1. A subject behind dirty glass.
2. Shiny surfaces.
3. A subject with a part of it near and another part far from the
Movie Camera.
4. An oblique subject.
5. A subject with horizontal stripes.
6. A flat surface, e.g. a white wall.
7. With the macro close-up function, special lenses or filters.
8. A fast-moving subject.
9. A subject having a dark surface.
In these cases, use manual focusing.
For White Balance
The Auto White Balance Adjustment may not be accurate when:
1. When shooting under mercury-vapor, natrium or some types of
fluorescent lamps.
2. When intense lighting is used, e.g. from a halogen lamp, or
when the colour temperature of the light source is low.
3. When shooting a subject of a single colour or a subject in front
of a single-colour background.
4. When shooting outdoors at sunrise or sunset.
5. When using a gray filter (ND) or other special filters.
6. When using a conversion lens.
7. When using the Movie Camera under weak illumination.
In these cases, use the manual white balance adjustment mode.
If it is moved from outdoors to indoors during recording, the picture
will initially take on a slightly reddish cast but it will gradually regain
its natural colours.
For High Speed Shutter
The following conditions are required for shooting with the High
Speed Shutter function:
•The subject must be brightly lit, with little shade, under sunlight or
some other illumination.
•If shooting under the illumination produced by fluorescent lamps,
the picture will be adversely influenced by flickering.
• If the picture is played back in the normal playback mode, the
movements may appear to be not very smooth.
•The playback picture will be slightly darker than the picture
recorded without using the High Speed Shutter function.
