The camcorder’s automatic functions offer you worry-free operation under most
shooting conditions. But in some circumstances, manual adjustment is better for
creative recording.
You can adjust focus, aperture, shutter speed, gain, and white balance automatically or
manually. Also, you can use the PROGRAM AE function in particular circumstances,
and adjust the brightness of the picture with the AE shift function.
Here’s the overview of each manual adjustment. See the following pages for detailed
information.
To focus manually
Set FOCUS to MANUAL. You can adjust the focus regardless of the position of the
AUTO LOCK/HOLD switch. When you want to focus automatically, set FOCUS to
AUTO.
To manually adjust aperture, shutter speed, gain, and white
balance
Set AUTO LOCK/HOLD to the center position. You can adjust each item
independently. When you want to adjust each item automatically, set AUTO LOCK/
HOLD to AUTO LOCK.
To manually adjust the brightness
Use AE SHIFT in the menu system.
