NOTES:
● Program AE with special effects can be changed
during recording or during Record-Standby.
● Some modes of Program AE with special effects
cannot be used during Night-Alive.
● When a subject is too bright or reflective, a vertical
streak may appear (smear phenomenon). Smear
phenomenon tends to occur when “SPORTS” or
any mode of “SHUTTER 1/250 – 1/4000” is
selected.
● Some modes of Program AE with special effects
cannot be used with certain Wipe/Fader effects.
(੬ pg. 41) In this case, the selected indicator

PROGRAM AE
OFF: Disables the function. (Factory-preset)
SHUTTER 1/60: The shutter speed is fixed
at 1/60th of a second. Black bands that usually
appear when shooting a TV screen become
narrower.
SHUTTER 1/100: The shutter speed is
fixed at 1/100th of a second. The flickering that
occurs when shooting under a fluorescent light
or mercury-vapor lamp is reduced.
SHUTTER 1/250/ SHUTTER 1/500/
SHUTTER 1/1000*/ SHUTTER 1/2000*/
SHUTTER 1/4000*: These settings allow fast-
moving images to be captured one frame at a
time, for vivid, stable slow-motion playback by
fixing shutter speed variables. Use these
settings when an automatic adjustment does not
work well, using SPORTS mode. The faster the
shutter speed, the darker the picture becomes.
Use the shutter function under good lighting
conditions.
SPORTS
(Variable Shutter Speed: 1/250 – 1/4000):
This setting allows fast-moving images to be
captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable
slow-motion playback. The faster the shutter
speed, the darker the picture becomes. Use the
shutter function under good lighting conditions.
SNOW: Compensates for subjects that may
otherwise appear too dark when shooting in
extremely bright surroundings such as in the
snow.
SPOTLIGHT: Compensates for subjects
that may otherwise appear too bright when
shooting under extremely strong direct lighting
such as spotlights.
TWILIGHT: Makes evening scenes look
more natural. White Balance (੬ pg. 40) is
automatically set to “ ”, but can be changed to
your desired setting. When Twilight is chosen,
the camcorder automatically adjusts the focus
from approx. 10 m (32 ft) to infinity. From less
than 10 m, adjust the focus manually.
SEPIA: Recorded scenes have a brownish
tint like old photos. Combine this with the
Cinema mode (੬ pg. 33, “WIDE MODE”) for a
classic look.
MONOTONE: Like classic black and white
films, your footage is shot in B/W. Used together
with the Cinema mode (੬ pg. 33, “WIDE
MODE”), it enhances the “classic film” effect.
CLASSIC FILM*: Gives recorded scenes a
strobe effect.
STROBE*: Your recording looks like a
series of consecutive snapshots.
MIRROR*: Creates a mirror image on the
right half of the screen, juxtaposed to the normal
image on the other half.
* Available only when the VIDEO/MEMORY Switch
is set to “VIDEO”.
