Adjusting the Exposure When Recording

6

If you set Exposure to Manual, the higher the exposure, the brighter the recorded picture will be.

[ Notes ]

If you manually change the Shutter Speed and the Exposure value when Program AE option is selected, manual changes are applied first.

The image may not seem as smooth when a high Shutter Speed is set.

The Camcorder returns to the auto shutter and auto exposure settings when you change to the EASY.Q mode.

When recording with a Shutter Speed of 1/1000 or higher, make sure the sun is not shining into the lens.

The Program AE cannot be set when the Shutter Speed or the Exposure is set to manual.
