These are the camcorder’s default settings:
• Video Format: HD (1280x720p, 30 fps). This is the highest quality
video setting that your camcorder off ers. It can be switched to SD
(640x480p, 30fps) mode, if desired. SD mode is preferable when
the movies captured will only be watched on a standard defi nition
TV. SD mode also uses less memory than HD mode.
• Stabilization: Off . Image stabilization is ideal for reducing
blurred images that may be caused by shaky hands or low light
conditions. Turn off when using a tripod.
• Sounds: On. When sounds are turned on, a sound will be played
each time a key function is accessed.
• Simple Mode: On. Turn off Simple Mode to access advanced
settings. Default advanced settings are as follows:
· Motion Detection: Off
· Scene Mode: Auto
· Color Balance: Auto
· Time Stamp: Off
· Help Text: On
· TV Format: NTSC
· File Format: AVI
To turn off Simple Mode, press the SET button, then navigate to the
Settings tab (tab on the far right), and scroll down to the Simple Mode
menu selection. Push SET, then select OFF.
NOTE: A simple description of what the advanced settings are is provided by
scrolling help text at the bottom of the screen. To view the help text, highlight any
menu option. For more information on advanced settings, see your User Guide.
IMPORTANT: Your camcorder ships with AVI as the default fi le format. AVI is
ideal for users running Windows®
XP, Vista® or 7. AVI fi les may be viewed and
