EFFECT
OFF: Disables the function. (Factory-preset)
SEPIA : Recorded scenes have a brownish
tint like old photos.
MONOTONE : Like classic black and white
films, your footage is shot in B/W.
CLASSIC* : Gives recorded scenes a strobe
effect.
STROBE* : Your recording looks like a
series of consecutive snapshots.
* Not available for still image recording.
PROGRAM AE
OFF: Disables the function. (Factory-preset)
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. 36) 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.
SHUTTER
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-vapour lamp is reduced.
SHUTTER 1/500/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.
