Setting the Camera Mode

to match your shooting style.

Set the camera mode switch to N. With this mode, the camcorder takes
care of all the settings while you concentrate on recording (A 35). This
operating mode is suitable if you just prefer not to bother with detailed
camcorder settings.

Set the camera mode switch to n. With this mode, you can enjoy full access to
menus, settings and advanced functions.

move the orange selection frame in the menu. Then,
press the joystick itself (in the manual, "press SET")
to select the menu item indicated by the orange
selection frame.
