a Auto : The camera/recorder automatically
judges the subject and surrounding environment
for optimum recording.
Sports : Reduces blurring when recording
rapidly moving subjects such as in golf or tennis.
If the Sports mode is used under a fluorescent
light, the image may flicker: In this case, use the
Auto mode for recording.
Portrait : Makes a subject, such as a person or
a creature, stand out from a blurred background.
Spotlight : Prevents overexposure of subject
portrait face, etc. when strong light strikes the
subject, as in a wedding or on stage.
Sand & Snow : Prevents underexposure of
subject portrait face, etc. in a place where reflection
of light is intense, such as at the seaside in
midsummer or on a ski slope.
Low Light : Allows user to record in a dark place
even with decreased lighting: However, an after-
image will appear with a moving subject.
Note that the Low Light mode cannot be used
when the recording quality mode is STD.
If there is difficulty in automatically focusing
subject image, adjust the focus manually. (P.71)
