Note

•Aperture value

–Set the aperture value to a higher number when you want a sharp focus background. Set the aperture value to a lower number when you want a soft focus background.

•Shutter speed

–When you want to take a sharp picture of a fast moving subject, set with a faster shutter speed. When you want to create a trail effect, set to a slower shutter speed.

–Manually setting a higher shutter speed may increase the noise on-screen due to the higher sensitivity.

–When recording under lighting such as fluorescent lighting, mercury lighting and sodium lighting, the coloring and brightness of the screen may change.
