NOTES
When the camcorder is in infrared mode, the following adjustments are made automatically.
- Gain, shutter speed and aperture are set to automatic levels.
- Autofocus is activated. However, you can change the focus mode to manual focus.
- AGC limit, white balance, image effects, exposure, backlight correction, recording program and
face detection & tracking cannot be set. Also, [= Instant AF] and [? Medium AF] cannot be
set for the AF mode.
- ND filters are not available.
Depending on the light source, autofocus may not work well while zooming.
When switching the camcorder to infrared mode, do not point the lens at strong sources of light or
heat. The camcorder's sensitivity to such sources is much higher than when shooting video
normally. If there are such sources in the picture before you switch the camcorder to infrared mode,
shield the lens first.
