How to avoid hand movement…
Any hand movement hen you press the shutter button can causes
blurring of the recorded image. Note the follo ing points on avoiding
hand movement.
• Make sure there is no excessive movement of the image of the ob-
ject on the LCD.
• Use a tripod henever possible hen recording images in dim light-
ing. The camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance
ith the brightness of the object hose image is being recorded.
Shutter speed is quite slo for dimly lit objects, increasing the pos-
sibility of blurring caused by hand movement.
Fluorescent Lighting
Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that cannot be
detected by the human eye. When using the camera indoors under
such lighting, you may experience some brightness or color problems
ith recorded images. The actual extent of the problems depends on
hat cycle of the fluorescent light’s flicker is occurring hen the
camera’s shutter actually releases. For best results, use a commer-
cially available video lights.
Infrared Light
Infrared light generated by a flash or other source can create image
color problems, such as red areas being recorded as green. Such
color problems ill sho up in the LCD hile you are composing the
image.
23
Recording Images
Shooting Images Outdoors
Strong direct or reflected sunlight can cause recorded images to take
on a greenish tinge. This is due to the characteristics of the camera’s
optical pickup and it does not indicate malfunction of the camera. One
ay you can try to minimize this problem is to set the aperture to [●]
(F8).
Changing the Lens Orientation
The lens of the camera is built into a lens body that is designed to
rotate. This means you can change the angle of the lens ithout mov-
ing the rest of the camera.
