NIGHTSCOPE

Night-Scope (NIGHTSCOPE)

Makes dark subjects or areas even brighter than they would be under good natural lighting. The recorded image may look as if it is strobing due to the slow shutter speed.

●The shutter speed is automatically adjusted to provide up to 30 times sensitivity.

●“” appears beside “ ” while the shutter speed is being automatically adjusted.

NOTES:

●During Night-Scope, the following functions or settings cannot be activated and its indicator blinks or goes out:

•Some modes of “Program AE With Special Effects”.

•“GAIN UP” in CAMERA Menu. ( pg. 35)

•“DIS” in MANUAL Menu. ( pg. 36)

●During Night-Scope, it may be difficult to bring the camcorder into focus. To prevent this, use of a tripod is recommended.

SHUTTER 1/50: The shutter speed is fixed at 1/ 50th of a second. Black bands that usually appear when shooting a TV screen become narrower.

SHUTTER 1/120: The shutter speed is fixed at 1/120th of a second. The flickering that occurs when shooting under a fluorescent light or mercury- vapour lamp is reduced.

SPORTS

(Variable Shutter Speed: 1/250 – 1/4000)

This setting allows fast-moving images to be captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable slow- motion playback. The faster the shutter speed, the darker the picture becomes. Use the shutter function under good lighting conditions.

SNOW: Compensates for subjects that may otherwise appear too dark when shooting in extremely bright surroundings such as in the snow.

SPOTLIGHT: Compensates for subjects that may otherwise appear too bright when shooting under extremely strong direct lighting such as spotlights.

NOTE:

“SPOTLIGHT” has the same effect as –3 with the exposure control. ( pg. 44)

TWILIGHT: Makes evening scenes look more natural. White Balance ( pg. 34, 45) is automatically set to “”, but can be changed to your desired setting. When Twilight is chosen, the camcorder automatically adjusts the focus from approx. 10 m to infinity. From less than 10 m, adjust the focus manually. The flash does not fire in this mode.
