Operating Instructions

Using the PROGRAM AE function

You can select PROGRAM AE (Auto Exposure) mode to suit your specific shooting

requirements.

SPOTLIGHT (Spotlight)

This mode prevents people’s faces, for example, from appearing excessively white

when shooting subjects lit by strong light in the theater.

PORTRAIT (Soft portrait)

This mode brings out the subject while creating a soft background for subjects such as

people or flowers.

SPORTS (Sports lesson)

This mode minimizes shake on fast-moving subjects such as in tennis or golf.

BEACH&SKI (Beach & ski)

This mode prevents people’s faces from appearing dark in strong light or reflected light,

such as at a beach in midsummer or on a ski slope.

SUNSETMOON (Sunset & moon)

This mode allows you to maintain atmosphere when you are recording sunsets, general

night views, fireworks displays and neon signs.

LANDSCAPE (Landscape)

This mode is for when you are recording distant subjects such as mountains and

prevents your camcorder from focusing on glass or metal mesh in windows when you

are recording a subject behind glass or a screen.
