Using slow shutter

– CCD-TRV99 only

If you want to record a dark picture more brightly, or make the movement of the subject seem lively, set the shutter speed to 1/25, 1/12, 1/6 or 1/3 (slow shutter).

(1) While the camcorder is in Standby mode or recording mode, press DIGITAL EFFECT and turn the control dial until the SLOW SHTR (shutter) indicator flashes.

(2) Press the control dial.

The SLOW SHTR indicator lights up and the shutter speed number (1 - 4) appears.

(3) Turn the control dial to select the shutter speed.

As the shutter speed number becomes bigger, the shutter speed becomes slower.
