Sharp VL-Z400H-T operation manual Tips on Manual Settings, Setting the Camcorder to Full Auto Mode

Tips on Using the Manual Shutter Speed

•Fast shutter speeds can be used with the still recording functions (see pages 39 and 70) to record higher quality still images of fast-moving subjects.

•If the on-screen picture flickers when recording under fluorescent lighting, you may be able to compensate by setting the shutter speed to 1/120 sec.

Notes:

•Recording with a shutter speed faster than 1/50 sec. tends to darken the picture. Record in bright locations when you use a fast shutter speed.

•Using a fast shutter speed under fluorescent lighting will cause flickering in the picture and possibly periodic colour shifts.

•When selecting 1/25 sec. or 1/12 sec. shutter speed, you may get a shadow image behind a subject that is moving around a lot.

•The Manual Shutter Speed setting cannot be used when a scene setting is selected or the e indicator appears.

•The shutter speed will be set to AUTO when selecting “ON e” in gain-up function.
