Turning EIS Off/On

Turning recording 
guidelines On/Off

EIS corrects for fuzziness in an image 
when you zoom in on a subject.

We recommend turning EIS Off when 
you position the camcorder on a table 
or use a tripod when recording.

During recording pause, press 
MENU

.

Select “Camera Functions Setup” 

 

“EIS” 

 “On”/“Off”

Press the confirmation button to 
confirm, then MENU to end.
When the function is turned On, 
“

” appears in the LCD 

monitor (p.42).
• EIS is retained in memory 

even when the power is turned 
off.

• If “Off” is selected, be sure to 

return the setting to “On” 
afterwards, if you do not 
normally use a tripod, etc.

Notes

• When EIS is active, there will be 

a slight divergence between the 
actual camera movement and the 
on-screen movement.

• Even if EIS is turned On, the 

camera movement may not be 
corrected if the movement is too 
excessive.

 

You can display recording guidelines 
to help compose your shots.

During recording pause, press 
MENU

.

Select “Camera Functions Setup” 

 

“Auxiliary Line” 

 “On”/“Off”

Press the confirmation button to 
confirm, then MENU to end.
When “On” is selected, vertical 
and horizontal guidelines appear 
in the LCD monitor.

We recommend you stabilize the 
camcorder using both hands and 
support your arms against your 
body when recording.

• EIS may not function correctly 

when a tele-conversion lens or 
wide-conversion lens is used.

• When using a card (recording 

stills), EIS cannot be set.

• Subjects may be distorted or blur 

while EIS is On due to the nature 
of the image sensor (CMOS 
sensor), which is not a 
malfunction. Also refer to 
“Troubleshooting” (p.140).
