• Even in flexible recording mode, the camcorder can help you with the 
settings. For example, you can use the Special Scene recording pro-
grams ( 55) to set at once all the optimal settings to match special 
recording conditions.
• Under certain conditions, the Smart AUTO icon that appears on the 
screen may not match the actual scene. Especially when shooting 
against orange or blue backgrounds, the Sunset or one of the Blue 
skies
 icons may appear and the colors may not look natural. In such 
case, we recommend recording in [  Programmed AE] mode ( 55).
