Full Features

When the exposure is locked, you can adjust it manually, making the picture brighter or darker in order to deal with difficult lighting conditions. The camera’s iris can be manually set to any position from fully closed to fully open.

To make the recorded image brighter, turn the SELECT dial upwards (to a maximum of +11). This may be necessary if the background is very bright, or if the subject is lit from behind.

To make the recorded image darker, turn the SELECT dial downwards (to a minimum of –11). This may be necessary if the background is very dark, or if the subject is spotlit.
