SHUTTER

(Variable Shutter

Speed)

CLASSIC FILM

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.

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.

1/250, 1/500–These settings allow 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.

Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.

STROBE

Your recording looks like a series of consecutive snapshots.

TWILIGHT

Makes evening scenes look more natural. White Balance (☞ pg. 46) is initially 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.

SLOW (Slow Shutter)

You can light dark subjects or areas even brighter than they would be under good natural lighting.

1 SLOW X4

The Shutter Speed is set to 1/12.5th of a second to quadruple the sensitivity.

2 SLOW X10

The Shutter Speed is set to 1/5th of a second to provide 10 times the sensitivity.

SEPIA

Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a classic look.

B/W 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.

NOTES:

●When using Slow Shutter, the image takes on a strobe-like effect.

●Use Slow Shutter only in dark areas.

●The Manual Focus indication may appear and flash when Slow Shutter is in use.

●If the image is out of focus, adjust manually. It is also recommended that you use a tripod, if possible.
