I)

Eugenia has posted this [ LINK (http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2009/01/06/regarding-the-new-canon-cameras/) ]:

«CineMode has *most probably* moved to the Colors Settings, rather than the ‘Programmed AE’ menu found in the HV series. If this is indeed true, it is a very good thing, as it will allow you to use a cinema gamma/look, while you can use your camera in Tv or Av mode at the same time, to properly control it.»



II)

Let's see now what happens with another Canon's acquisition device already known -- I don't have the camera (HG10) but take a glance on this:

[ LINK (http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Canon-HG10-Camcorder-Review-33146/Performance.htm#) ]

«Cine mode is a gamma setting that affects color behavior in the Canon HG10. It can be used in 60i or 24P. The HG10 groups the Cine mode with the AE mode settings, which unfortunately prevents it from being used at the same time as Aperture or Shutter Priority mode.»



III) Now compare what's written in both webpages @ Canon site [ HG10 LINK (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=177&modelid=15617#ModelTechSpecsAct[/url) ] [ HF S100 LINK (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=177&modelid=17992#ModelTechSpecsAct) ] as we already know:

«AUTO, P, Av, Tv, Portrait, Sports, Night, Snow, Beach,Sunset, Spotlight, Fireworks»



IV)

In conclusion, if all these sources are correct, we should review the Eugenia's presumption. Nevertheless, why doesn't Canon mention the Cine mode as one of the Programmed AE modes as it happens with others such as HV30/40 as for instance?

Can anyone know and answer it?

Yes. Earlier today the CamcorderInfo editor-in-chief told me that the Cinemode has moved to the "Functions" menu, and it's not in the Programmed AE menu anymore. That's why it's not listed there.

Thanks for your update. As matter of fact, after your initial doubts, I had done a little research and found that.

Because the information about the HG10 actually had been the same and the Cinemode was still effectively in the Programmed AE, I thought this could happen again. A certain typo. Fortunately, it does seem it's not. In this case, the mode of priority over the shutter speed, for instance, will be free, right? Or will they cripple anything else?

Despite the differences, as same as HV20 Cinemode?
