Notes
You cannot switch the setting of [IRIS] and
[SHUTTER SPEED] between automatic and
manual by pressing MANUAL during movie
recording. Set the automatic or manual mode
before starting movie recording.
The menu item settings done before will be
retained even if you set other menu item
settings after that. If [EXPOSURE] is set after
[AE SHIFT] is set manually, [EXPOSURE] will
override [AE SHIFT].
You cannot set [EXPOSURE], [IRIS], or
[SHUTTER SPEED] simultaneously. If you set
either one of them, the settings of other 2 items
are canceled.
If you select [RESET] in step , all the settings
set manually return to the default setting.
Tips
You can also assign menu items to the RING by
touching
(MENU) [Show others]
[OTHER REC SET] (under
[SHOOTING
SET] category) [RING SETTING].
Even if you open the IRIS wider (a smaller
F-stop) than F3.4 when you set the zoom lever
to the W (Wide angle) side, the IRIS is reset
to F3.4 as you move the zoom lever to the T
(Telephoto) side.
If you adjust the IRIS, the in-focus range in
front of and behind the focused subject is
changed. When you open the IRIS wider (a
smaller F-stop), the in-focus range becomes
narrower, and when you close the IRIS
narrower (a larger F-stop), the in-focus range
becomes wider. You can set the IRIS to a
preferred value depending on the shooting
scenes.
It is difficult to focus automatically at a
lower shutter speed. Manual focusing with
your camcorder attached to a tripod is
recommended.
When you record images under a fluorescent
lamp, sodium lamp, or mercury lamp,
horizontal stripes may appear, flicker may
occur, or color may change. In this case, change
the shutter speed according to the power supply
frequency in your region.
The displayed camera data differs depending on
the settings at the time of recording (p. 86). The
icons are shown as follows.
