Manual settings will be retained even if you 

change the assigned item of the MANUAL dial. 

However, if you set [Exposure] after setting 

[AE Shift] manually, [Exposure] will override 

[AE Shift].

If you set either one of [Exposure], [IRIS], or 

[Shutter Speed], the settings of other 2 items 

are canceled.

If you select [RESET] in step , all the items 

adjusted manually are reset to the default 

settings.

Tips

You can also assign menu items to the 

MANUAL dial by touching 

 (MENU)  

[Camera/Mic]  [

 (Camera Settings)]  

[Dial Setting].

Even if you open the IRIS wider (a smaller 

F-stop) than F3.4 when you set the zoom lever 

to the W (Wide angle) side, the IRIS is reset 

to F3.4 as you move the zoom lever to the T 

(Telephoto) side.

If you adjust the IRIS, the in-focus range in 

front of and behind the focused subject is 

changed. When you open the IRIS wider (a 

smaller F-stop), the in-focus range becomes 

narrower, and when you close the IRIS 

narrower (a larger F-stop), the in-focus range 

becomes wider. You can set the IRIS to a 

preferred value depending on the shooting 

scenes.

When you record images under a fluorescent 

lamp, sodium lamp, or mercury lamp, 

horizontal stripes may appear, flicker may 

occur, or color may change. In this case, change 

the shutter speed according to the power supply 

frequency in your region.

The camera data (p. 91) that appears on the 

LCD screen will differ, depending on the 

recording settings of the camcorder. The 

settings will be displayed with the following 

icons.

: Automatic

: Exposure is set manually.

: IRIS priority

: Shutter speed priority

Enjoying a digest of 

your movies (Highlight 

Playback)

Your camcorder selects Highlight Playback 

scenes at random, puts them together, and 

plays them back as a digest of your high 

definition image quality (HD) movies and 

photos with music and visual effects. 

If you like the Highlight Playback you have 

just seen, you can save it as a “scenario” and 

play it back repeatedly. Furthermore, you 

can share the Highlight Playback scenes 

or scenarios easily using other media by 

converting the data format of the Highlight 

Playback scenes or scenarios, which allows 

you to upload the data to the Web or create 

DVDs.

Tips

Touching the   button on the playback screen 

displays functions you can currently use, and
