RosieZak,
I only mentioned touching the Portrait setting in the menu because that is what it is set to by default. In this case, you will be changing that over to the Spotlight setting. In order to use the Spotlight setting, the camcorder must be set to the Manual mode. You do not have to manually set exposure settings if you do not want to. Even in the Manual mode, automatic exposure can still be used. If you set the camcorder to Auto, it chooses most settings on its own, so the Spotlight setting cannot be specifically used. There is still a good chance the camcorder will make the appropriate adjustments for the scene that you are looking for, so you can definitely try shooting in Auto if that will work better for you.

Hi RosieZak!
Thank you for posting and welcome.
There is a Spotlight scene setting you can use on the VIXIA HF G30 while the camera is set to the Manual mode. This is not available in Auto mode.
Spotlight can be use while shooting both AVCHD and MP4.
