3D mode and this may prevent you from viewing the initial part of the motion picture. In this 
case, you may find it useful to pause the playback.
•When viewing 3D images, your eyes may become tired if you are too close to the television 
screen.
•If your television does not switch to a 3D image, make the necessary settings on the TV. (For

•
[¦] is set if none of the scenes are applicable, and the standard settings are set.•When [ ], [ ] or [ ] is selected, the camera automatically detects a person’s face, and it 
will adjust the focus and exposure. (Face Detection)
•If a tripod is used, for instance, and the camera has judged that camera shake is minimal when 
the Scene Mode has been identified as [ ], the shutter speed will be set to a maximum of 
8 seconds.Take care not to move the camera while taking pictures.
•When [Face Recog.] is set to [On], and the face similar to the registered face is detected, [R] is 
displayed in the top right of [ ], [ ] and [ ].
•Due to conditions such as the ones below, a different scene may be identified for the same 
subject.
–Subject conditions: When the face is bright or dark, the size of the subject, the color of the 
subject, the distance to the subject, the contrast of the subject, when the subject is moving
–Recording conditions: Sunset, sunrise, under low brightness conditions, when the camera is 
shaken, when zoom is used
•For the best results, it is recommended that you take pictures in the appropriate Recording 
Mode.
•The Backlight Compensation–Backlight refers to when light comes from the ba ck of a subject. In this case, the subject will 
become dark, so this function compensates the backlight by brightening the whole of the 
picture automatically.

∫About the recording format for recording motion pictures
This unit can record 2D motion pictures in either AVCHD or MP4 formats.
AVCHD:
This is a format for precise, high definition  video. This format is best used when the video 
will be displayed on a high definition TV, or saved to a disk and watched on a computer.
MP4:
This is a simpler video format best used  when extensive editing is needed, or when 
uploading videos to the internet.
∫ About the compatibility of the recorded motion pictures
Motion pictures recorded in [AVCHD] or [MP4] may be played back with poor picture or 
sound quality or playback may not be possible even when played back with equipment 
compatible with these formats. Also, the recording information may not be displayed 
properly. In this case, use this unit.
