[A.SL SHUTTER]: The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter speeds to obtain
brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting.
• The camcorder uses shutter speeds down to 1/30.
• If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [
OFF].
[IMG STAB]: 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.
The image stabilizer may also not be able to compensate for all
movement when recording moving subjects.
• The image stabilizer may not be effective when recording in dark places with
[A.SL SHUTTER] set to [
ON] or using the [
NIGHT] recording program.
•
The image stabilizer may not work well on subjects with low contrast, with a
recurring, repetitive pattern or without vertical lines.

.
• We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [
OFF] when using a tripod.

• Since the screens on the camcorder have an aspect ratio of 16:9, recordings with a 4:3
aspect ratio will appear in the center of the screen with black sidebars.
