Sony MVC-FD200 66

Tips

Under normal recording conditions, the camera automatically makes various adjustments, such as those for the focus, iris, exposure, and white balance, as it shoots. However, you may not be able to carry out your desired shooting depending on shooting conditions. The PROGRAM AE function provides you with near-optimum adjustments to suit your shooting situation.
