51
Recording
By activating the Steady Shot function, blurring
of images due to camera shaking can be reduced.
Setting with the CAMERA SET menu
Set “Steady Shot” (page 102) of the CAMERA
SET menu to “On.”
Setting with the Direct menu
When you press the DISPLAY/BATT INFO
button, the setting of the Steady Shot function is
displayed on the screen.
You can turn it on/off with the Direct menu by
operating the joystick or the jog dial.
For details on the Direct menu, see “Direct Menu
Operation” on page 20.
Two operation modes are provided for Steady
Shot: Normal mode and Wide mode (for a wide
conversion lens).
When you attach the optional VCL-EX0877 wide
conversion lens, be sure to set “Wide
Conversion” (page 101) of the CAMERA SET
menu to “On.”
Note
If the camcorder is fixed to a tripod for stable
condition, deactivate the Steady Shot function.
To reduce flickers, try either of the following two
methods:
Setting the shutter speed according to
the power-supply frequency
Activate the electronic shutter (page 43) and set
the shutter speed according to the power supply
frequency.
When the frequency is 50 Hz
Set the shutter speed to
1
/
50
or
1
/
100
seconds.
When the frequency is 60 Hz
Set the shutter speed to
1
/
60
or
1
/
120
seconds.
Using the Flicker-Reduction function
Set “Flicker Reduce” (page 99) of the CAMERA
SET menu to “Auto” or “On” and set
“Frequency” to the power-supply frequency (50
Hz or 60 Hz).
Note
If the frame rate selected for recording is close to
the power-supply frequency, flicker may not be
reduced sufficiently even if you activate the
Flicker-Reduction function. In such cases, use the
electronic shutter.
