slow-motion playback. The faster the shutter 
speed, the darker the picture becomes. Use the

that may otherwise appear too bright when 
shooting under extremely strong direct lighting

m, adjust the focus manually.
 SEPIA: Recorded scenes have a brownish 
tint like old photos. Combine this with the 
Cinema mode for a classic look.
