* Option available only when the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone is attached to the camcorder after having updated the camcorder’s firmware using the memory card supplied with the SM-V1.
[Digital Zoom]: Determines the operation of the digital zoom. The color of the indicator indicates the 
zoom.
• With the digital zoom the image is digitally processed, so the image resolution will deteriorate the  more you zoom in.
• Digital zoom is available only for movies.
[Focus Assistance]: When focus assistance is activated, the image at the center of the screen is 
magnified to help you focus manually ( A52).
• Using focus assistance will not affect the recordings. It will be cancelled automatically after  4 seconds or when you start recording.
• Focus assistance is available only for movies.
[Auto Slow Shutter]: The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter speeds to obtain brighter 
recordings in places with insufficient lighting.
• Minimum shutter speed used: 1/30; 1/15 when the frame rate is set to PF29.97 or 29.97P; 1/12  when the frame rate is set to 23.98P.
• The auto slow shutter can be activated only during   mode, when the recording program is set  to [ ’ Programmed AE] or during infrared mode.
• If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [ jOff].
•If  > (camcorder shake warning) appears, we recommend stabilizing the camcorder, for example, 
by mounting it on a tripod.

[ND Filter]: Available in any recording program other than the Special Scene recording programs. When 
set to [ k Automatic], ND filter settings will be available when the aperture value is F4.0.
[Conversion Lens]: When you attach to the camcorder the optional TL-H58 Tele-converter or WA-H58 
Wide Attachment, set the appropriate conversion lens setting. The camcorder will then optimize the 
image stabilization and adjust the minimum object distance. The minimum object distance throughout 
the entire zoom range will be 130 cm (4 ft. 3 in.) for the Tele-converter and about 60 cm (2 ft.) for the 
Wide Attachment. When you select [ ¿ WA-H58] and you zoom in, the zoom position marker will 
stop before reaching the end of the zoom bar.
• This Wide Attachment decreases the focal length by a factor of 0.75.
• When you select a setting other than [ j Off], the AF mode is automatically set to [ @ Normal 
AF].
• The approximate subject distance displayed on the screen will change depending on the setting. If  you are not using an optional lens, select [ jOff].
[Onscreen Markers]: You can display a grid or a horizontal line at the center of the screen. Use the 
markers as a reference to make sure your subject is framed correctly (vertically and/or horizontally).
• Using the onscreen markers will not affect the recordings.
[Microphone Attenuator]:  Helps prevent audio distortions. You can use this setting when using an 
external microphone or when [ — Audio Scene] is set to [ „ Custom Setting].
[ k  Automatic]: The camcorder will automatically activate the microphone attenuator as necessary for 
optimal audio recording levels so high audio levels will not be distorted.
[ i  On]: The microphone attenuator will be activated at all times to reproduce more faithfully the 
sound dynamics.
[Surround Mic Directionality]: Sets the directionality mode of the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone.
[ ò Surround]: Records 5.1ch surround sound.
[ ó Zoom]: Records 5.1 audio channels. Additionally, the audio is linked to the zoom position. The 
larger the subject appears on the screen, the louder the sound will be as well.
[ ô Shotgun]: Records monaural audio with a highly directional setting that is most sensitive to 
sound coming directly from the front of the camcorder/microphone.

[File Numbering]: MP4 movies and photos are saved as files in folders. You can select the file 
numbering method for those files. File numbers appear on screens in playback mode in a format such 
as "101-0107". The first three digits indicate the folder  number and the last four digits are different for 
each file in a folder. 
[ m  Reset]: File numbers will restart from 100-0001 every time you record on a memory card that has 
been initialized.
[ n  Continuous]: File numbers will continue from the  number following that of the last file recorded 
with the camcorder.
• If the memory card you insert already contains a file with a larger number, a new file will be assigned  a number one higher than that of the last file on the memory card.
• We recommend using the [ n Continuous] setting.
• When you use a computer to view the contents of a memory card with MP4 movies or photos, an  MP4 movie with a file number of "100-0107" recorded on May 1st will be saved in the 
"DCIM\100_0501" folder as the file "MVI_0107.MP4";  a photo with the same file number will be 
saved in the same folder as the file "IMG_0107.JPG".
• Folders can contain up to 500 files (MP4 movies and photos combined) and a new folder is created  every time a folder exceeds this number. 
• The first three digits of the file number range from 100 to 999 and the last four digits range from  0001 to 9999. File numbers are automatically assigned consecutive numbers.
[Available Space in Memory]/[Used Space in Memory]: Displays a screen where you can verify how much 
of the memory card is currently available for recording or how much is in use ( « total recording time 
and ª  total number of photos).
• Estimated figures about available movie recording time and available number of photos are  approximate and based on the recording mode currently in use and a photo size of 1920x1080.
• You can also check the memory card's Speed Class.

[OLED Brightness]: Sets the OLED screen to one of two brightness levels. You can use this to make the 
screen brighter when recording in bright places, for example.

camcorder will automatically adjust the screen's brightness accordingly. When you need to carefully 
monitor picture quality when recording, keep this setting set to off.
• Changing the brightness of the OLED screen does not affect the brightness of your recordings or 
the brightness of the playback image on a TV.
• Using the [  Bright] setting will shorten the effective usage time of the battery pack.
• When demo mode is not on or activated and the compact power adapter is connected, this setting  will automatically change to [ Bright].
• When [OLED Dimmer] is set to on, the camcorder's screen will automatically become dimmer if the  camcorder is left without any operation for 3 minutes. Operate any control on the camcorder to
