To cancel the gain-up function

Press the GAMMA/BRIGHTER button until

up mode, which increases when the e
displays.
•When the e indicator displays, you may get
a shadow image behind a subject that is moving
around a lot.
•Fine brightness adjustments are possible when
using manual exposure (see page 56).
•Gain-up will cancel if you aim the camcorder in a
bright location.
