• If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder
using the compact power adapter so the battery pack will not be con-
sumed.
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore,
charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full
charge.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times
longer than you think you might need.

NOTES
• About the LCD screen: The screen is produced using extremely high-pre-
cision manufacturing techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels
operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasion-
ally misfire or appear as black, red, blue or green dots. This has no
effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
LCD Backlight
When recording in bright places it may be difficult to use the LCD
screen. Turn on the LCD backlight to make it brighter.
With the camcorder on, hold h pressed down for more than 2
seconds.
Repeat this action to switch the LCD backlight between off (normal) and
on (bright).
NOTES
• The LCD backlight does not affect the brightness of the recordings.
• Using the bright setting will shorten the effective usage time of the bat-
tery pack.
• You can further adjust the brightness of the LCD screen with the
6 68 [LCD Brightness] settin
g, or dim it with the 8 [LCD
Screen Dimmer] setting to use in places where the light from the LCD
screen can be a nuisance.

NOTES
• [F G I JPortrait]/[ Sports]/[ Snow]/[ Beach]: The picture may not
appear smooth during playback.
• [FPortrait]: The blur effect of the background increases the more you
zoom in (P).
• [I JSnow]/[ Beach]: The subject may become overexposed on
cloudy days or in shaded places. Check the image on the screen.
• [pLow Light]:
- Moving subjects may leave a trailing afterimage.
- Picture quality may not be as good as in other modes.
- White points may appear on the screen.
- Autofocus may not work as well as in other modes. In such case,
adjust the focus manually.
• [MFireworks]:
- To avoid camcorder blur (blur due to the camcorder moving) we
recommend using a tripod.
- In mode, slower shutter speeds are used so blur is more likely to
occur. Stabilize the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a
tripod.
• [r sUnderwater]/[ Surface]:
- Use these recording programs when making recordings while the
camcorder is in the optional WP-V2 Waterproof Case.
- The [r Underwater] recording program is for making recordings
underwater*. When using underwater lighting equipment or making
recordings while on land, we recommend using the [sSurface]
recording program.
- To switch the recording program between [r Underwater] and
[sSurface] while the camcorder is in the waterproof case, turn on
the camcorder while holding j pressed down.
[rUnderwater] To record underwater scenes in
natural colors.

NOTES
• If the degree of camcorder shake is too high, the image stabilizer may
not be able to fully compensate.
• Powered IS is not available in mode.
• For surveying and following shots, when you pan the camcorder from
side to side or tilt it up and down, we recommend setting the IS mode
to [PDynamic] or [QStandard].
Pre-Recording
The camcorder will start recording 3 seconds before you press
g, ensuring you do not miss important shooting opportuni-
ties. This is especially useful when it is difficult to predict when to start
recording.
Powered IS
When shooting video, you can use Powered IS to make the image
stabilization even more powerful. Powered IS is most effective when
you are stationary and zooming in on far subjects using high zoom
ratios (the more you approach the telephoto end). Holding the LCD
panel with your left hand will add to the stability of the shot.

By default, face detection is activated. If the function was turned off, per-
form the following procedure to turn it on.
To select the main subject
If there is more than one person in the picture, the camcorder will auto-
matically select one person it determines is the main subject. The main
subject is indicated by a white face detection frame and the camcorder
will optimize the settings for that person. Other faces will have gray
frames.
Touch a different face on the
touch screen to optimize the
camcorder's settings for that
person.
NOTES
• The camcorder may mistakenly detect the faces of non-human sub-
jects. In such case, turn face detection off.
• In certain cases, faces may not be detected correctly. Typical examples
include:
- Faces extremely small, large, dark or bright in relation to the overall
picture.
- Faces turned to the side, at a diagonal or partially hidden.
• Face detection cannot be used when the shutter speed used is slower
than 1/25 or when the digital zoom is activated at more than 60x zoom
(dark blue area on the zoom bar).
• When face detection is activated, the slowest shutter speed used by the
camcorder is 1/25.

Shutter Speed and Aperture Value Guidelines
XWith slower shutter speed you can add a nice
motion blur and sense of movement.
With faster shutter speeds you can “freeze the
action” for powerful images of moving subjects.W
XWith small aperture values only the subject is in
focus and the background is softly blurred. Great
for portraits or to isolate a single object.
With large aperture values every part of
the image is clearly in focus. Good
for landscapes and architectural shots.W
