When recording, you can control the range of focus (depth of field) to meet your recording
purposes.
Shutter speed is automatically adjusted to be appropriate for the set aperture value.

Determine aperture value
• When the aperture value is
increased, the range of depth in
focus expands, and the picture
shows up clearly from the position
of the camera to the background.
• When the aperture value is
reduced, the range of depth
in focus shrinks, and the
background can get blurry.
• When the picture is too bright
or too dark or there is incorrect
exposure, the numbers for the
aperture value and shutter speed
are shown in red.

• Aperture values that can be set vary depending on the zoom position. (The above table
is at Max. W)

●LCD monitor brightness may vary from the actual still picture recorded.

●If too bright, increase the aperture, and if too dark, reduce the aperture.

Determine shutter speed
• At faster shutter speeds,
movements by the subject show
as if they are still.
• At slower shutter speeds,
subjects that are moving show
as jittery.
• When the picture is too bright
or too dark or there is incorrect
exposure, the numbers for the
aperture value and shutter speed
are shown in red.
