To adjust the shutter speed
automatically
Push the SHUTTER switch I to SEL a
few times to set to auto mode, or set the
CAMERA MODE switch F to AUTO.
b Notes
• If you set the CAMERA MODE switch F to
AUTO, other manually adjusted items (iris,
gain, white balance) also become automatic.
• The shutter speed information will not be
recorded during recording in the ECS mode.
z Tips
• Select the ECS mode if you want to obtain
images with no horizontal bands of noise when
you record subjects such as monitor screens.
• Select the slow shutter (SLS) mode if the
subject is not well lit.
• The shutter speed is fixed to 1/50 when you set
the SHUTTER switch I to OFF.
• It is difficult to focus automatically at a lower
shutter speed. Sony recommends that you set up
your camcorder on something stable such as a
tripod, and manually adjust the focus.
• The picture may flicker or change colors under
fluorescent lamps, sodium lamps or mercury
lamps. You can reduce flickering by setting the
shutter speed to an appropriate frequency in
ECS mode.
You can adjust and fix the white balance
according to the lighting conditions of
recording environment. You can store white
balance values in memory A ( A) and
memory B ( B), respectively. Unless a
white balance is readjusted, values will
remain even after the power has been
turned off.
1 During recording or standby, set
the CAMERA MODE switch C to
MANUAL.
2 Set the ATW switch B to OFF.
