Manual Shutter Speed Adjustment

Useful for recording fast-moving subjects.

≥The [MNL] Indication 1 appears.

2Press the [PUSH] Dial repeatedly until the shutter speed Indication 2 appears.

3Rotate the [PUSH] Dial to adjust the shutter speed.

The Range of Shutter Speed Adjustment

Tape Mode 1/60–1/8000

Card Mode 1/30–1/500 (or 1/60–1/500 for MPEG4 Recording) The standard shutter speed is 1/60 second.

Selecting a speed closer to [1/8000] causes the shutter speed to be faster, resulting in crisper captures of moving subjects but a lower light level. ≥When the progressive function is [ON], a speed only up to 1/500 can be

used.

To Resume Automatic Adjustment

Set the Mode Selector Switch to [AUTO].

≥For other notes, see page 68.

Adjustable Range of the Iris

CLOSE (Closed), F16, ..., F1.7, OPEN (Opened) 0dB, ..., 18dB

When the Gain up Mode [GAIN UP] or the MagicPix Function is used, Iris adjustment is by 6dB.

When a value closer to [CLOSE] is selected, the image becomes darker. When a value closer to [18dB] is selected, the image becomes brighter. The value to which dB is attached indicates a gain value. If this value is too large, the quality of the image deteriorates.
