Manual exposure adjustment is recommended in

the background is too bright.

snow.
When the background is overly dark or the
subject light.

Wheel

The exposure control level increases/decreases
(maximum ±06).
In the “High Speed Shutter” or “Sports” modes,
picture colour may be adversely affected if the
subject is lit by alternating discharge-type light
sources such as flourescent or mercury-
vapour lights.
OFF: To cancel the effect.
SPORTS: High shutter speed clearly
captures fast-moving action.
ND EFFECT: A black mist darkens the picture, as
when an ND filter is used. Helps to counter the
effects of glare on the subject.
FOG: Makes the picture look misty white, as
when an external fog filter is attached to the lens.
Softens the image and gives it a “fantasy” look.
TWILIGHT: Dusk, twilight scenery, fireworks,
etc., look more natural and dramatic. In this
mode, the Auto Focus (pg. 9) and S.LX (pg.
13) may not work.
1/2000 (1/2000 sec. High Speed Shutter):
Captures faster action than Sports mode. The
screen becomes slightly dark. Use in well-lit
environment.
SUNSET: Makes scenes look like a sunset
with reddish tint.
SURF&SNOW: Compensates for subjects
that may otherwise appear too dark when
shooting in extremely bright surroundings such as
in the snow or beach. In this mode, the fast-
moving images can be recorded since the shutter
speed becomes fast.
OFF: To cancel the effect.
SEPIA: Recorded scenes have a brownish
tint like old photos. Combine this with WIDE in
CAMERA MENU for a classic look.
B/W:MONO: Like black and white films, your
footage is shot in B/W. Combine this with WIDE in
CAMERA MENU for a classic look.
B. FILTER: Recorded scenes have a bluish
tint.
R. FILTER: Recorded scenes have a reddish
tint.
SOLARI: The picture is recorded with an
effect similar to a painting.
