Item Description
OIS Duo
Set to compensate for camcorder shake/blur.

OIS Plus improves on existing Optical Image Stabilisation
by allowing the camcorder lens to shift over wider range
of motion in wide/tele zoom position. This allows the
camcorder to compensate for greater degrees of camcorder
shake and delivers a stunning level of image smoothness.
Tele Macro
Set to record close-up images of very small objects.
Off*: Disables the function.
On ( ): Focuses on a small portion of a large
object at a tele angle.
•
•
When recording in the Tele Macro mode, the focus
speed may be lowered.
Use a tripod (not supplied) to prevent camcorder
shake in the Tele Macro mode.
Avoid shadows when recording in the Tele Macro mode.
As the distance to the subject decreases, focusing
area narrows.
When the distance between the camcorder and a
subject is too close and the camcorder cannot be
in the focus, press the [Zoom (W)] button and then
adjust the focal distance between them.
When the Tele Macro function is On and the
camcorder magnifies a subject in tele mode, the
minimum focal distance between the camcorder and
a subject is 50cm.
