TWILIGHT
Makes evening scenes look more natural.
White Balance (੬ pg. 30) 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 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 for a classic look.
MONOTONE
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
Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.
STROBE
Your recording looks like a series of
consecutive snapshots.
VIDEO ECHO
Adds a “ghost” to the subject, giving your
recording a “fantasy” feeling. Zoom
magnification of over 10X is not available.
SLOW (Slow Shutter)
Lights dark subjects or areas even brighter than they
would be under good natural lighting. Use “SLOW”
only in dark areas.
SLOW 4X
The Shutter Speed is set to 1/12.5th of a second to
quadruple the sensitivity.
SLOW 10X
The Shutter Speed is set to 1/5th of a second to provide
10 times the sensitivity.
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)
1/50–The shutter speed is fixed at 1/50th 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-vapour lamp is reduced.
1/250, 1/500 –These settings allow 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 Programme AE with special
effects cannot be used with certain Fade/Wipe
Effects (
੬
pg. 27). If an unusable mode is
selected, its indicator blinks or goes out.
