b Notes
• You cannot change to another digital effect
while recording pictures on a tape with
[CINEMA EFECT] selected.
• Effects added to the playback pictures are not
output via the HDV/DV Interface (i.LINK).
Only the original pictures can be output.
• While using [D.EFFECT], you cannot use the
review button for still images on the "Memory
Stick Duo" .
• If you set [CINEMA EFECT], [SPOT METER]
and [EXPOSURE] return to [AUTO].
• For HDR-HC5:
Adjust the focus manually using a tripod
(optional) since adjusting the focus
automatically is hard when [SLOW SHUTTR]
is selected. ([FOCUS], p. 46)
z Tips
• You can save pictures edited using special
effects on a "Memory Stick Duo" (p. 70) or
