[Auto Backlight Correction]: When set to [i On], the camcorder will automatically detect and
compensate the exposure for backlit subjects. This is useful in situations in which the subject is not
constantly backlit.
• When [FUNC.] > [Image Effects] > [Looks] is set to [Wide DR] or [Highlight Priority], this setting is
not available.
[Auto Slow Shutter]: The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter speeds to obtain brighter
recordings in places with insufficient lighting.
• Minimum shutter speed used: 1/30; 1/15 when the frame rate is set to PF29.97 or 29.97P; 1/12
when the frame rate is set to 23.98P.
• The auto slow shutter can be activated only during mode, when the recording program is set
to [’ Programmed AE] or during infrared mode.
• If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [j Off].
•If > (camcorder shake warning) appears, we recommend stabilizing the camcorder, for example,
by mounting it on a tripod.
[Flicker Reduction]: When set to [k Automatic], the camcorder will automatically detect and reduce
flicker.
• When recording under light sources such as fluorescent, mercury or halogen lamps, the screen may
flicker depending on the shutter speed. You may be able to avoid flicker by setting the shutter speed
mode to a value matching the frequency of the local electrical system: 1/100 for 50 Hz systems,
1/60 for 60 Hz systems.
[ND Filter]: Available in any recording program other than the Special Scene recording programs. When
set to [k Automatic], ND filter settings will be available when the aperture value is F4.0.
[Conversion Lens]: When you attach to the camcorder the optional TL-H58 Tele-converter or WA-H58
Wide Attachment, set the appropriate conversion lens setting. The camcorder will then optimize the
image stabilization and adjust the minimum object distance. The minimum object distance throughout
the entire zoom range will be 130 cm (4 ft. 3 in.) for the Tele-converter and about 60 cm (2 ft.) for the
Wide Attachment. When you select [¿ WA-H58] and you zoom in, the zoom position marker will
stop before reaching the end of the zoom bar.
• This Wide Attachment decreases the focal length by a factor of 0.75.
• When you select a setting other than [j Off], the AF mode is automatically set to [@ Normal
AF].
• The approximate subject distance displayed on the screen will change depending on the setting. If
you are not using an optional lens, select [j Off].
[Onscreen Markers]: You can display a grid or a horizontal line at the center of the screen. Use the
markers as a reference to make sure your subject is framed correctly (vertically and/or horizontally).
• Using the onscreen markers will not affect the recordings.
[IR Light]: Turns the infrared light on and off. The light is located on the handle unit so make sure you
attach it to the camcorder in advance.
•If set to [i On], the infrared light is always on when the camcorder is in infrared mode.
