Adjusting the exposure

Shooting with the sun behind your subject

If the light source is behind your subject, or in the following situations, the subject will be recorded too dark.

•The subject is indoors and there is a window behind the subject. •Bright light sources are included in the scene.

•When shooting a person wearing white or shiny clothes in front of a white background, the face will be recorded too dark.

Shooting in the dark

We recommend you to use the built-in light (CCD-TR516 only) or a video light (not supplied). To get the best color, you must maintain a sufficient light level.

Note

Exposure cannot be adjusted when usnig the NightShot function.

When you adjust the exposure manually

•BACK LIGHT does not work.

•If you change the setting of PROGRAM AE mode, the camcorder automatically returns to automatic exposure mode.
