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. 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-vapor lamp is reduced.

SPORTS (Variable Shutter Speed: 1/250 – 1/4000)*4

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.

TWILIGHT

Makes evening scenes look more natural. White Balance ( pg. 39) 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 (32 ft) to infinity. From less than 10 m (32 ft), adjust the focus manually.

SEPIA*1

Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old photos. Combine this with the 16:9LB mode for a classic look.

MONOTONE*1

Like black and white films, your footage is shot in B/W. Used together with the 16:9LB mode, it enhances the “classic film” effect.

CLASSIC FILM*2

Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.

STROBE*2

Your recording looks like a series of consecutive snapshots.

SLOW (Slow Shutter)*1

Lights dark subjects or areas even brighter than they would be under good natural lighting. Use “SLOW” only in dark areas.

SLOW 1

Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity to allow shooting in dark environments.

SLOW 2

Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity further to allow shooting in even darker environments.

NOTES:

●When using “SLOW”, the image takes on a strobe- like effect.

●If the manual focus indicator blinks when “SLOW” is used, adjust focus manually and use a tripod.

VIDEO ECHO*3

Adds a “ghost” to the subject, giving your recording a “fantasy” feeling. Zoom magnification of over 10X is not available.

*1 Not available when “CAMERA MODE” is set to

“DUAL” in the Menu Screen ( pg. 28, 29). *2 Available when “CAMERA MODE” is set to

“VIDEO” or “PS-VIDEO”.

*3 Available when “CAMERA MODE” is set to “VIDEO”.
