SHUTTER

1/60 –The shutter speed is fixed at 1/60th of a second. Black bands that usually appear when shooting a TV screen become narrower.

1/100 –The shutter speed is fixed at 1/100th of a second. The flickering that occurs when shooting under a fluorescent light or mercury-vapor lamp is reduced.

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

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.

TWILIGHT

Makes evening scenes look more natural.

White Balance ( pg. 41) is initially set to , but can be changed to your desired setting. When Twilight is chosen, the camcorder automatically adjusts the focus from approx. 10 m (32 ft) to infinity. From less than 10 m (32 ft), adjust the focus manually.

SEPIA

Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a classic look.

MONOTONE

Like black and white films, your footage is shot in B/W. Used together with the Cinema mode, it enhances the “classic film” effect.

CLASSIC FILM*2

Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.

STROBE*2

Your recording looks like a series of consecutive snapshots.

MIRROR*2

Creates a mirror image on the left half of the screen, juxtaposed to the normal image on the other half.

*1 With images shot in the 1600 x 1200 mode, the shutter speed is applicable only up to 1/500 ( pg. 16).

*2 Available when the VIDEO/MEMORY Switch is set to “VIDEO”.
