NOTES
• When infrared recording is activated with the camcorder set to mode, the following changes take place.
- The camcorder switches to automatic gain, shutter speed and aperture adjustment.
- The camcorder switches to autofocus initially but you can change the focus mode to manual focus.
- The AGC limit, white balance, exposure compensation, backlight correction (both automatic and constant),
shooting mode, face detection & tracking, AF mode and look settings cannot be changed.
- The ND filter is retracted and cannot be changed.
• If you set an assignable button to [< IR Light] (A 94), you can press the button to turn the infrared light
on/off.
• Depending on the light source, autofocus may not work well while zooming.
• In infrared mode the camcorder's sensor is considerably more sensitive to near-infrared light. Do not point the
lens at strong light or heat sources when infrared recording is activated. If there are such light/heat sources in
the picture, be sure to shield the lens before switching the camcorder to infrared mode.
