Recording Automatically by Sensing Move-
ments (AUTO REC)
This function enables the unit to record automatically by sensing the
changes in subject's movement (brightness) within the red frame dis-
played on the LCD monitor. (AUTO REC)
It can be set for both video and still image modes.

Recording starts automatically when the subject within the red frame
moves.
.
● A red frame appears 2 seconds after the menu display disappears.
● For video recording, recording continues while there are still move-
ments of the subject (changes in brightness) within the red frame.
When there are no more movements of the subject (changes in bright-
ness) within the red frame, recording will stop in 5 seconds.
● To stop video recording manually, press the START/STOP button.
However, as the AUTO REC setting remains at ON even after the vid-
eo recording is stopped, recording starts again when movements of the
subject (changes in brightness) are detected within the red frame. To
cancel AUTO REC, set it to “OFF”.
CAUTION:
● The only manual recording setting available is “TELE MACRO”.
The rest are all set to “AUTO”.
● Digital zoom, image stabilizer, self-timer, and continuous shooting are
not available after AUTO REC is set.
● AUTO REC cannot be used together with TIME-LAPSE RECORDING.
When both are set, priority is given to TIME-LAPSE RECORDING.
● The auto power off and power-saving modes are not available after
AUTO REC is set.
Memo:
● Recording stops when there are no changes for 5 seconds during vid-
eo recording.
● Recording may not start when the movements of the subject within the
red frame are too fast or the changes in brightness are too small.
● Recording may not start when the change in brightness is too small.
●
Recording may start due to changes in brightness even if there is no
movement of the subject within the red frame.
●
The performance of AUTO REC is affected by its sensitivity to the sur-
rounding brightness. The function may not work with certain environ-
ments.
● While zooming, recording cannot be started.
