• You can only adjust the gain when in the IR or
SUPER IR modes. You can adjust both the gain and
aperture with the multi dial in the COLOR NS mode.
(P39)
• You can change the lighting control of the IR light
using the IR LED item on the OTHER FUNCTIONS
screen.
(P73)
• Do not look directly at the IR light when it is on.
• Do not cover the IR light with your hand or anything
else.
• For shooting at an even higher sensitivity, we recom-
mend that you use the optional IR light.
• Performing high-sensitivity shooting may give rise to
such problems as after-image, a deterioration in the
image quality and difficulties in focusing.
If you are going to hold the camera to shoot, you can
use the vibration reduction function to achieve shooting
with minimal vibration (camera shake).
appears on the screen when this function is work-
ing.
To release the function, press the OIS (Optical Image
Stabilizer) button. When the OIS button is pressed
again, the function is reactivated.
If you use a tripod, you can obtain natural images by
shooting with the vibration reduction function released.
• It may not be possible to reduce the vibration at such
times when the vibration is severe or when a moving
subject is being tracked and shot at the same time.
• The vibration reduction function may not work prop-
erly when the digital zoom function is working.
When “ON” has been selected as the WIND CUT item
setting on the RECORDING SETUP screen using the
menus
(P62-64), the noise created by wind blowing
into the microphone on very windy days can be
reduced.
(P69)
When the wind noise reduction is activated, WIND CUT
appears on the screen.
• The wind noise reduction function works for both the
internal microphone and external microphone.
• If there is any bass sound, some of it may be reduced
along with the wind noise.
• This function turns on or off for both channel 1 and
channel 2.
When “4. MOVIE-LIKE” has been selected as the
SCENE FILE item setting on the SCENE FILE screen
using the menus
(P62-64), you can shoot movie-like
images.
You can record still pictures on tape just as if you were
taking snapshots with an ordinary camera.
When the PHOTO SHOT button is pressed in the
shooting pause mode, a still picture lasting for about 7
seconds is recorded.
Once the still picture has been recorded, the camera-
recorder is set to the shooting pause mode.
A photo index for images recorded using the photo shot
function is created, enabling you to perform a photo
index search when the tape is played back to find any
still pictures you have recorded.
(P47)
• While shooting is in progress, still pictures cannot be
recorded even when the PHOTO SHOT button is
pressed.
When SUPER_IR or COLOR_NS has been selected
as the high-sensitivity shooting mode, images are
shot with the CCD taking about 16 times more time
than usual to accumulate the signals.
As a result, very small brilliant points that are not usu-
ally visible may be recorded as the images: this is
normal and does not indicate an error or malfunction-
ing.
