    Recording motion pictures with more vivid colours, using x.v.Colour™ technology.
    ≥ Switch to manual mode. ( l80)
    ≥ Set [REC MODE] to [HA], [HG], [HX] or [HE] ( l64), or set to 1080/50p recording 
    mode. ( l53)
    ≥ For more realistic colours, use an HDMI mini cable with a TV that supports the 
    x.v.Colour
    ™.
    ≥ When connecting this unit to a TV with the AV multi cable, the TV cannot detect the digital 
    cinema colour setting on this unit automatically. We recommend connecting this unit to TVs 
    compatible with x.v.Colour
    ™ using an HDMI mini cable.
    ≥ When viewing on the TV with the digital cinema colour function, turn off the digital cinema 
    colour function on the TV.
    ≥When motion pictures recorded while this function is turned [ON] are played back 
    with a TV not compatible with x.v.Colour™, colours may not be reproduced properly.
    ≥ To play back images recorded in the digital cinema colour with vivid colours of wider colour 
    ranges, a device compatible with x.v.Colour
    ™ is required. When these images are played 
    back with devices other than ones compatible with x.v.Colour™, it is recommended to 
    record the images after this function is turned [OFF].
    ≥ x.v.Colour
    ™ is a name for devices that are compatible with the xvYCC format, an 
    international standard for expanded colour in motion pictures, and that follow the rules for 
    signal transmission.
    Message is displayed when this unit is moved rapidly.
    When “CAMERA PANNING IS TOO FAST.” appears, move the unit slowly while recording.
    ≥ Message will not appear while pausing the recording. (Message will appear even if it is 
    pausing the recording if [DEMO MODE] is set to [ON].)

    ≥If you wish to record higher quality sound and maintain realism even when zooming in, for 
    instance recording a music reci tal, we recommend setting [MIC SETUP] to [SURROUND].

    [SURROUND]:Sound is recorded with 5.1 ch surround microphone.
    [ZOOM MIC]:Directivity of the microphone is interlocked with the zoom 
    operation. Sounds near the front of the unit are recorded more 
    clearly if you zoom in (close-up) and surrounding sounds are 
    recorded more realistically if you zoom out (wide angle).
    [FOCUS MIC]:Directivity of the centre is enhanced for recording audio near the 
    front of the unit more clearly.
    [STEREO MIC]:Sound from two directions is recorded in 2 ch by forward-facing 
    stereo microphones.
