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.

TWILIGHT : Makes evening scenes look more natural. White Balance (
pg. 36) 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 (32 ft) to infinity. From less than 10 m, adjust the focus manually.

SHUTTER

OFF: Disables the function. (Factory-preset)

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.

SHUTTER 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-vapour lamp is reduced.

SHUTTER 1/500/SHUTTER 1/4000: These settings allow fast-moving images to be captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable slow-motion playback by fixing shutter speed variables. Use these settings when an automatic adjustment does not work well, using SPORTS mode. The faster the shutter speed, the darker the picture becomes. Use the shutter function under good lighting conditions.
