Checking EIS ON or OFF

You can check whether electronic image stabilizer is

engaged or not by reviewing the on-screen informa-

tion.

Note that the setting of electronic image stabilizer will not change when the DVD

camcorder is turned off: After recording with EIS set to OFF, it is recommended that

you return the setting to “ON” and then turn the DVD camcorder off, unless you

always record with “OFF” setting.

This function is effective only when recording movies: It does not operate when re-

cording stills.

Manually Focusing Subject during Movie Recording

The DVD camcorder measures the distance to a subject viewed at the center of

screen and automatically focuses on it. If you want to record by adding special effects

or focusing on a subject image off the center of screen, adjust the focus manually.

1. Press the FOCUS button in the record-

ing pause status.

“FOCUS” will appear on the screen.

Tip:

• Pressing FOCUS will alternate between manual focus

and auto focus. With auto focus, no indication will

appear on the screen.
