Note: EIS may not function if you use a wide or teleconverter lens.
Note: It is recommended that you do not use the EIS function when using a tripod. The sensor would detect
vibrations from the tripod in which case the picture would be blurred.
B.LIGHT LOCK or UNLOCK
The camcorder contains an auto iris that adjusts the lens aperture depending on the available light, widening it
during low light conditions and narrowing it when bright light is available. When the camcorder is turned off the iris
fully closes.
When you are filming a subject in front of a brightly lit background, press the B.LIGHT button and it corrects the
lighting on the tape.
LOCK: Specify LOCK when you are going to record objects in front of a brightly lit background for a long time.
When the B.LIGHT button is pressed with LOCK specified, the mark appears and the lighting on the tape is
corrected. To release backlighting (exposure) correction, press the B.LIGHT button again.
UNLOCK: The background is corrected only when you press the B.LIGHT button and hold it.

on the LCD monitor.

("Date Search", p.43).
