[Digital Zoom]: Determines the operation of the digital zoom.
• When you zoom, once you exceed the optical zoom range, the camcorder will automatically switch
to digital zoom.
• With the digital zoom the image is digitally processed, so the image resolution will deteriorate the
more you zoom in.
• Digital zoom is not available in mode or when > [v Camera Setup] > [Conversion
Lens] is set to [¿ WA-H58].
[Focus Preset Speed]: Determines the speed at which the focus changes to the preset position.
[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.
• Automatic backlight correction is not available in the following cases:
- When the camcorder is in mode.
- When the shooting mode is n, [Q Night Scene], [K Snow], [L Beach], [M Sunset],
[S Spotlight] or [T Fireworks].
- When the custom picture function is enabled.
[Auto Slow Shutter]: The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter speeds to obtain brighter
recordings in places with insufficient lighting.
• When this setting is set to [i On], the minimum shutter speed used is: 1/30 (59.94P), 1/15
(29.97P) or 1/12 (23.98P).
• The auto slow shutter is available only during mode or when the shooting mode is set to
[’ Programmed AE].
• If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [j Off].
• We recommend stabilizing the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a tripod.
• The camcorder will not use auto slow shutter when the AGC limit is set.
[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.
