Backlight correction for Highlight Priority mode

Highlight Priority mode uses a setting that allows more detail to be captured in the bright areas of an image, so typically over-blown highlights such as reflections from glass, water and metal can be recorded accurately. Now Backlight Correction can be selected in Highlight Priority mode, to provide a combined setting that reduces blown out highlights in movies with backlit subjects, for even more dynamic and natural looking scenes when viewed on modern HDTVs with their powerful backlight technology.

Auto Framing Assist

Auto Framing Assist allows users to focus on their framing at high zoom, while the camcorder keeps track of their subject and senses camera movement for them. It automatically zooms out little by little during panning to help you keep the subject in the frame – even as they move – them zooms back in once panning stops. Ideal for shooting great movies of people, especially kids, on the go, or distant wildlife. 

Flexible fast and slow motion recording

Users can now change the frame rate of their movies whilst recording via on-screen buttons to create dramatic creative effects. They can speed everything by x2 to capture fast motion or cut speed by x1/2 to shoot in slow motion. Sound is not recorded when shooting in fast or slow motion.
