Exposure Control

Manual exposure control is recommended in the following situations:

●When shooting on a reflective natural background such as at the beach or when skiing.

●When the background is overly dark or the subject is bright.

2Open the LCD monitor fully, or pull out the viewfinder fully.

3Press EXPOSURE.

●The exposure control indicator appears.

●–3 exposure has the same effect as when

“r PROGRAM AE” is set to “SPOTLIGHT”. ( pg. 41)

5Press SET/SELECT. Exposure adjustment is complete.

To return to automatic exposure control...

Press EXPOSURE twice. Or, set the Power Switch to “A”.

●If EXPOSURE is pressed once, the camcorder will enter the exposure control mode again.

You cannot use the manual exposure control at the same time when “r PROGRAM AE” is set to “SPOTLIGHT” or “SNOW” ( pg. 38, 41), or with the backlight compensation. ( pg. 56)

Iris Lock

Like the pupil of the human eye, the iris contracts in well-lit environments to keep too much light from entering, and dilates in dim environments to allow in more light.

Use this function in the following situations:

●When shooting a moving subject.

●When the distance to the subject changes (so its size in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder changes), such as when the subject is backing away.

●When shooting on a reflective natural background such as at the beach or when skiing.

●When shooting objects under a spotlight.

●When zooming.

When the subject is close, keep the iris locked. Even when the subject moves away from you, the image will not darken or brighten.

1Set the Power Switch to “M” while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch.

2Open the LCD monitor fully, or pull out the viewfinder fully.

3Press EXPOSURE.

● The exposure control indicator appears.

4Adjust zoom so that the subject fills the LCD monitor or the viewfinder, then press and hold SET/SELECT for over 2 seconds. The exposure control indicator and the “” indication appear.

5Press SET/SELECT. The

“” indication changes to “” and the iris is locked.

To return to automatic iris

control...

Press EXPOSURE twice. Or, set the Power Switch to “A”.

●The exposure control indicator and “” disappear.

To lock the exposure control and the iris… After step 1 of “Exposure Control”, adjust the exposure by pressing + or –. Then lock the iris in step 4 of “Iris Lock”. For automatic locking, press EXPOSURE twice in step 3. The iris becomes automatic after about 2 seconds.
