Tele-Macro Function
≥The Tele-Macro Function cannot be started during
recording.
≥When the [D.ZOOM] is set to [25k] or [700k], the
Tele-Macro Function with the magnification greater
than 10k is available.
≥If a sharper focus cannot be achieved, adjust the
focus manually.
In the following cases, the Tele-Macro Function
is cancelled.
≥The zoom magnification becomes lower than 10k.
≥Operating the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch.
ª Electronic Image Stabilizer Function
(l 33)
≥Under conditions of dim lighting, the Electronic
Image Stabilizer Function will not operate
correctly. In such a case, the [EIS] Indication will
flash.
≥Under fluorescent lighting, image brightness may
change or colors may not look natural.
≥After-images may appear.
≥We recommend that you turn off the Image
Stabilizer function when a Tripod is in use.
≥By setting [EFFECT1] on the [DIGITAL EFFECT]
Sub-Menu to [GAIN UP], you can disable the
Image Stabilizer function. In this Case, the [EIS]
Indication flashes.
≥The Image Stabilizer Function does not operate
when using MagicPix. In this case, the [EIS]
Indication flashes.
≥Within the digital zoom range, or when recording
with a conversion lens attached, the Image
Stabilizer Function may not work effectively.
ª Cinema Function
≥Using the Cinema Function does not widen the
recording angle.
≥If you play back tape recorded in Cinema Mode on
a wide-screen (16:9) format TV, playback size is
automatically adjusted to fit the TV screen format.
Please refer to the TV's operating instructions for
details.
≥When images are displayed on a TV screen, the
Date/Time Indication may be erased in some
cases.
≥Depending on the TV, the picture quality may be
deteriorated.
≥The Cinema Mode is cancelled when a Title is
displayed.
≥Using the Cinema Mode deactivates [MULTI] and
[P-IN-P] of [EFFECT1].
≥Depending on the software in use, the imported
Cinema picture may not be displayed correctly.

ª MagicPix Function
≥In a bright place, such as the outdoors, the
recorded picture may become washed out.
≥In a dark place, the recorded picture is presented
in a time-lapse-like manner.
≥Focusing must be adjusted manually.
≥Use this function only in situations where there is
limited light. Do not use it in brightly lit places or
aim at the sun. The Palmcorder can be seriously
damaged.
≥The Progressive PhotoShot
automatically turned off.
≥The Continuous PhotoShot Function cannot be
used.
≥White Balance cannot be set.
≥The shutter speed cannot be adjusted.
≥The Iris cannot be adjusted.
≥The Program AE or Digital Effect Modes in
[EFFECT1] cannot be set.
≥The Image Stabilizer does not function.
≥When recording with the MagicPix Function, using
a tripod is recommended.
≥MagicPix Function makes the signal charging time
of CCD up to 30 times longer than usual, so that
dark scenes that are invisible to the naked eye can
be recorded brightly. For this reason, bright dots
may be seen, but this is not a malfunction.
ª Program AE
≥If any of the Program AE Modes are selected, you
cannot adjust the shutter speed or iris.
≥You cannot use Sports Mode, Portrait Mode or
Low Light Mode with Gain Up Mode [GAIN UP].
≥When using Sports Mode, Portrait Mode or
Low-Light Mode, using the MagicPix Function
cancels this mode.
Sports Mode
≥During normal playback, the image movement
may not appear smooth.
≥Because the color and brightness of the
playback image may change, avoid recording
under fluorescent light, mercury light, or
sodium light.
≥If you record a subject illuminated with strong
light or a highly reflective subject, vertical lines
of light may appear.
≥If the light is insufficient, the [5] Indication
flashes.
Sports Mode/Portrait Mode
≥If you record a still picture in Progressive
TM
PhotoShot
Mode, the brightness of the
recorded still picture may become unstable.
≥If these modes are used for indoor recording,
playback images may flicker.
