[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 (1/15 in
mode).
• If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [ OFF].
• If (camcorder shake warning) appears, we recommend stabilizing the camcorder, for
example, by mounting it on a tripod.
[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 not be able to successfully eliminate all blur if
the camcorder or the subject is moving too much.
• 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.
• The image stabilizer cannot be turned off when the mode switch is set to .
• We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [ OFF] when using a tripod.
