Additional Information
• Using focus assistance will not affect the recordings. It will be cancelled
automatically after 4 seconds or when you start recording.
[Auto Slow Shutter]:
The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter
speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting.
• Minimum shutter speed used: 1/25; 1/12 when the frame rate is set to
[
D
PF25].
• The auto slow shutter can only be activated when the recording pro-
gram is set to [

if you set the camcorder to

of wind. When recording in surroundings unaffected by wind or if you

screen to [

audio recording levels.

torted. When the microphone attenuator is activated,
