Understanding Aperture

You can adjust the aperture value to control the amount of light reaching the image sensor. The smaller the aperture value, the greater the amount of light. For example, F1.8 lets in more light than F2.8. You need to adjust the aperture value in the following cases:

•When you are shooting against the light or when the background is too bright.

•When you are shooting on a reflective natural background such as at the beach or when skiing.

•When the background is overly dark (for example, scenery at night).

Shutter

The camcorder automatically sets the shutter speed depending on the scene’s brightness. User high shutter speeds to record fast moving objects and low shutter speeds to record slow or stationary objects or objects in dimmer light.

Select the record mode by pressing the MODE button. page 29

• The image may not seem smooth when you set a high shutter speed.
