Sanyo VPC-HD1A instruction manual Exposure Setting

EXPOSURE SETTING

Various settings—including shutter speed, aperture size, the ND filter ON/ OFF status—can be set by the user.

1 Display the PAGE 1 Shooting Setting Screen (page 65).

2 Select the manual exposure menu.

@: The optimum shutter speed and aperture size are set according to the brightness of the subject (aperture and shutter variable program AE).

Example: For simple shooting with minimum setup, using the camera’s automatic settings.

T: This allows you to set a specific shutter speed and enable/disable the ND filter. The camera automatically sets an appropriate aperture size based on this setting (shutter speed priority AE).

Example: To set a fast shutter speed for capturing a clear image of a fast-moving object, or to set a slow shutter speed to shoot the flow of a background scene.

By using the flash in combination with a slow shutter speed, you can create beautiful photographs of people against a background night scene (slow synchro photography).

g: This allows you to set a specific aperture size and enable/disable the ND filter. The camera automatically sets an appropriate shutter speed based on this setting (aperture priority AE).

Example: To open the aperture for portraits with a blurred background (for a shallow field depth), or to close the aperture for a clear foreground and background (for a deep field depth).

,: This allows you to set a specific shutter speed, aperture size and enable/disable the ND filter (manual exposure control).

Example: When shooting in a dark location without using the flash, set the shutter to stay open for a longer time (slow shutter). When used for shooting nighttime scenes, you can capture lights flowing across the image.
