[ PROGRAM AE]

The camcorder automatically adjusts the aperture and shutter speed to obtain the optimal exposure for the subject.

[ SHUTTER-PRIO.AE]

Set the shutter speed value. The camcorder automatically sets the appropriate aperture value. Use a high shutter speed to record fast moving subjects or a slow shutter speed to add motion blur, emphasizing the feel of movement.

[ APERTURE-PRIO.AE]

Set the aperture value. The camcorder automatically sets the appropriate shutter speed. Use low aperture values (larger lens opening) to softly blur the background in a portrait or high aperture values (smaller lens opening) to get a wider depth of field, giving a sharp focus all throughout a landscape.
