This effect prevents people’s faces, for
example, from appearing excessively white
when shooting subjects lit by strong light.

This effect brings out the subject while creating
a soft background for subjects such as people
or flowers.

This effect minimizes camera-shake on fast-
moving subjects such as in tennis or golf.

This effect prevents people’s faces from
appearing dark in strong light or reflected
light, such as at a beach in midsummer or on a
ski slope.

This effect allows you to maintain atmosphere
when you are recording sunsets, general night
views, fireworks displays and neon signs.

This effect is for when you are recording
distant subjects such as mountains, and
prevents your camcorder from focusing on
glass or metal mesh in windows when you are
recording a subject behind glass or a screen.

* Your camcorder focuses only on subjects in

the middle to far distance.

** Your camcorder focuses only on distant

subject.
