Program AE With Special Effects

IMPORTANT:

Some modes of Program AE with special effects cannot be used with certain Wipe/Fader effects. (See the left column.) If an unusable mode is selected, the indicator of Program AE with Special Effects blinks or goes out.

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

2 Open the LCD monitor fully. ( pg. 12)

3 Set “r” to the desired mode. ( pg. 18)

●The PROGRAM AE menu disappears and the selected effect is activated.

●The selected effect indicator appears.

To deactivate the selected effect

Select “OFF” in step 3. The effect indicator disappears.

NOTES:

●Program AE with special effects can be changed during recording or during Record-Standby.

●Some modes of Program AE with special effects cannot be used during Night-Scope.

OFF: Disables the function. (Factory-preset)

SHUTTER 1/50: The shutter speed is fixed at 1/ 50th of a second. Black bands that usually appear when shooting a TV screen become narrower.

SHUTTER 1/120: The shutter speed is fixed at 1/ 120th of a second. The flickering that occurs when shooting under a fluorescent light or mercury-vapour lamp is reduced.

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.

SPOTLIGHT: Compensates for subjects that may otherwise appear too bright when shooting under extremely strong direct lighting such as spotlights.

NOTE:

“SPOTLIGHT” has the same effect as –3 with the exposure control. ( pg. 25)

TWILIGHT: Makes evening scenes look more natural. White Balance ( pg. 26) 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 to infinity. From less than 10 m, 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 classic 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: Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.

STROBE: Your recording looks like a series of consecutive snapshots.
