The movies you see at the cinema are generally filmed at 24 frames per second (fps). The GS500's Pro-Cinema mode shoots at a close 25 fps, so it can reproduce the same kind of motion you see in the movies.
Switching the GS500 to Pro-Cinema mode also activates the High-Picture-Quality Wide mode and Cine-Like mode (with special gamma curves). These help unleash the full high-picture-quality potential of the 3CCD camera system and let you capture images that can be viewed on a wide-screen TV with the entire angle of view intact. |

Low-brightness areas are enhanced while high-brightness areas are suppressed, to prevent blackened or whitened sections of the image.
This mode lets you record film-like images. |

The low-frequency microphone level can be adjusted to suit the preference of the user. Wind NR (noise reduction) is activated according to the preset level to effectively cut wind noise, for clear, dynamic bass sound.
* Bass enhancer level is set to +6dB automatically when Pro-Cinema Mode is used. |

| Positioned at the front of the lens barrel, the manual focus ring has a non-slip, sure-grip surface for easy operation and quick response when a photo opportunity pops up. It ensures professional-style operation and enhances creativity. |

This Quick Start mode* helps shoot videos on the spur of the moment. This mode lets you shoot those not-to-be-missed scenes by turning on the power just 1.7 sec. from the time the LCD is opened.

The O.I.S. linear motor system can detect when the camera is in an unusual shooting position - such as when you've inadvertently left it on in recording mode. In these cases, the camera automatically stops recording, saving both battery power and tape.
*Set to OFF when shipped from the factory. To turn Anti Ground Shooting ON, the setting must be made on the menu screen. |

0 Lux Colour Night View with Light Panel for shooting in total darkness.
Designed for shooting in total darkness, this function shoots four frames per second using the LCD monitor as a light source. Pictures are clear and sharp thanks to the hand-shake compensation provided by the O.I.S. Light from the LCD is gentle and easy on the eyes, so you can snap shots of sleeping children without waking them up. |

Colour Night View for shooting in dim light.
