Selecting automatic or manual mode

The digital 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.

Here’s the overview of each manual adjustment. See the following pages for detailed information.

To focus manually

Set FOCUS to MANU. You can adjust the focus regardless of the position of the AUTO LOCK switch. When you want to focus automatically, set FOCUS to AUTO.

To manually adjust aperture, shutter speed, gain, and white balance

Set AUTO LOCK to OFF. By setting AUTO (AGC, ATW)/MANUAL to MANUAL, you can adjust each item independently. When you want to adjust each item automatically, set AUTO/MANUAL to AUTO (AGC, ATW).
