TWILIGHT
Makes evening scenes look more natural.
White Balance (੬ pg. 41) is initially 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 (32 ft), adjust the focus
manually. The flash does not fire in this mode.
SEPIA*1
Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old
photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a
classic look.
MONOTONE*1
Like classic black and white films, your footage is
shot in B/W. Used together with the Cinema
mode, it enhances the “classic film” effect.
CLASSIC FILM*2
Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.
STROBE*2
Your recording looks like a series of consecutive
snapshots.
VIDEO ECHO*3
Adds a “ghost” to the subject, giving your
recording a “fantasy” feeling. Zoom magnifica-
tion of over 10X is not available.
SLOW (Slow Shutter)*4
Lights dark subjects or areas even brighter than
they would be under good natural lighting. Use
“SLOW” only in dark areas.
SLOW 1
Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity to allow
shooting in dark environments.
SLOW 2
Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity further to allow
shooting in even darker environments.
NOTES:
●
When using “SLOW”, the image takes on a strobe-
like effect.
●
If the manual focus indicator blinks when “SLOW”
is used, adjust focus manually and use a tripod.
SHUTTER (Variable Shutter Speed)
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.
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.
1/250 –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.
IMPORTANT:
Some modes of Program AE with special effects
cannot be used with certain Fade/Wipe Effects
(
੬
pg. 37). If an unusable mode is selected, its
indicator blinks or goes out.
