Night Recording (Super Cat’s
Eye)
The night recording function allows you to
record the subject in absolute darkness. This is
useful when you want to record a nocturnal
animal at night without artificial lighting.
Note:
• Use Night Recording when “LIGHT” is displayed.
Do not use in a bright location such as outdoors
in the afternoon.
To obtain a brighter picture
Press the IR LIGHT button.
• “SUPER CAT’S EYE” changes to “IR LIGHT”, and
the camcorder emits infrared light from the
transmitter.
• The picture becomes monochrome.
To cancel Night Recording
Set the SUPER CAT’S EYE switch to OFF.
Notes:
• The picture will turn white if you use Night
Recording in a bright location.
• The camcorder may not be able to focus
correctly when using Night Recording. In such
cases, use the manual focus function to obtain
proper focus (see page 49).
• Infrared light emitted from the camcorder
illumines an area up to about 3 m away.
• The following functions do not work when using
Night Recording.
— Manual Exposure
— Manual shutter speed
— White Balance Lock
— Picture effects
• You can obtain a much brighter picture of the
subject by pressing the GAMMA/BRIGHTER
button to select Gain-up mode and then setting
the SUPER CAT’S EYE switch to ON.
In Tape Recording or Card Recording mode,
set the SUPER CAT’S EYE switch to ON.
