O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) Lock

The image-stabilizing effect is increased by pressing and holding the O.I.S. Lock
indication on the LCD screen, which maximizes the blur detection sensitivity.
This is great for when you want to zoom at a fixed angle, like for bird watching.

iA (Intelligent Auto)

This powerful function senses the shooting conditions and automatically makes the settings and activates functions that will deliver optimal results. With both motion and still images, iA does the bothersome settings for you and makes it easy to capture beautiful, well-focused images. * The functions included in iA may not be applied when conditions do not call for them.
* The iA function is not supported for still images in the V210 Series and V110.

HYBRID O.I.S. +

POWER O.I.S.

The POWER O.I.S. suppresses even slight hand-shake. When shooting, hand-shake often comes on gradually due to factors like breathing rhythms or the surrounding wind. While this kind of low-frequency hand-shake went undetected with conventional O.I.S., POWER O.I.S. has a variety of functions that detect even the slightest shake.

Active Mode

Active mode comes in handy when shooting while walking or playing with your children.
The wide correction area corrects even relatively large hand-shake motion. It‘s especially good for active video shooting.

Face Recognition

The Face Recognition function recognizes the faces of registered subjects, and automatically
optimizes the focus and exposure for those special people. It continues to track the subject as he
or she moves anywhere within the LCD frame, making it ideal for video shooting. It is extremely useful
for capturing someone's face in a group. Names can also be registered and displayed on the LCD
while shooting. A total of six people can be registered, and the names of up to three people at a time can be
displayed in the shooting frame.

AF/AE Tracking

Touch the LCD screen to indicate the subject, such as a person or an animal, that you want to
focus on, and let AF/AE Tracking do the rest. The camera locks on the subject and follows it around,
keeping it in sharp focus and properly exposed. It keeps tracking even if the subject turns to the side.
This advanced function makes it easy to get a continually clear, beautiful shot of the subject in the
scene you care most about.

Intelligent Scene Selector

The Intelligent Scene Selector function analyzes the shooting situation and automatically switches the camcorder to the suitable scene mode that will give you optimal results.

Face Detection

Face Detection automatically senses the ambient lighting and adjusts the exposure accordingly, so faces are bright and easy to see. The focus also prioritizes the faces, and skin tones are smoothed. Faces in the center of the frame serve as the reference for adjustments, but the function can detect up to 15 faces at once.

Intelligent Contrast Control

Intelligent Contrast Control detects the ambient light level and adjusts the exposure accordingly, helping to prevent blown highlights and blocked shadows. You can capture natural looking, highly nuanced images with proper contrast.

On-Screen Assist

Ideal for making fine brightness adjustments that are difficult to see in the LCD.
A handy guide for correcting the exposure is shown right in the monitor.

Focus Assist

This function shows which subjects are in-focus by displaying their outlines in blue. You can easily check the focus on LCD when manually focusing, to ensure consistently clear, sharp images.

Pre-Rec Function

This smart function records three seconds of images even before you actually begin shooting. The images are held temporarily in the camcorder's internal memory, before recording begins. This helps ensure that you won't miss the start of a moment you want to record, such as when an event begins all of a sudden. For example, if you're waiting to snap a shot of a jumping dolphin, you can press the REC button after you've made sure that the dolphin has cleared the surface of the water. The camcorder will record the entire scene, from the instant of the dolphin's jump until it disappears again into the sea. * The camera must be aimed at the subject in advance.

AGS (Auto Ground-Directional Standby)*

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 media storage space. * In PAL area, the AGS (Auto Ground-Directional Standby) is called the Anti Ground Shooting. . Set to OFF when shipped from the factory. To turn AGS ON, the setting must be made on the menu screen.

Color Night Rec/Colour Night View

Leave the light off. Color Night Rec/Colour Night View gives you images with color even in dim lighting (1 lx).
