Default value; SCN - special scene shooting mode)
| Shooting Mode | Details |
|---|---|
 Auto | Let the camcorder take care of most of the settings while you concentrate on recording |
 Sports (SCN) | To record scenes with lots of movement, such as sport events and dance scenes. |
 Beach (SCN) | To record on a sunny beach without the subject being underexposed. |
 Macro (SCN) | The camcorder can focus at a shorter distance, allowing you to get closer shots of flowers or insects. Close subjects will also stand out more because of the fisheye effect of the ultra wide angle lens. |
 Food and Fashion (SCN) | To record fashion or food related scenes with vivid colors. |
 Night Scene (SCN) | To record nightscapes with lower noise. |
 Snow (SCN) | To record in bright ski resorts without the subject being underexposed. |
 Programmed AE | The camcorder automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture but you have the option to adjust the white balance and exposure, and change the frame rate |
4. The [Special Scene mode] you selected will be displayed.
