Setting the Electronic Shutter

The electronic shutter of the camcorder permits you to change the shutter speed (the accumulation time per recording frame).

The electronic shutter can be adjusted automatically or manually as required.

Fixed Shutter (manual adjustment) modes

Recording is made with a specified shutter speed (accumulation time).

Standard modes (Speed mode/Angle mode)

These modes may be especially effective when you wish to record a quick-moving subject with little blurring.

You can select Speed mode or Angle mode. In Angle mode, you can specify the shutter speed by setting the shutter angle.

ECS (Extended Clear Scan) mode

Specify the shutter speed by frequency. This mode may be used to shoot the monitor screen eliminating horizontal bands.

SLS (Slow Shutter) mode

For shooting a subject in low-level lighting conditions. Specify the shutter speed in the number of accumulated frames.

EX Slow Shutter mode

This is an advanced mode of SLS mode. The shutter speed is specified in the number of accumulated frames. Up to 64 frames can be accumulated in this mode, permitting you to obtain low-noise clear pictures in low light levels or a surreal pictures with afterimages.

Auto Shutter mode

The shutter speed is automatically adjusted according to the picture brightness.

When you set the SHUTTER switch to ON, the fixed shutter is turned on in the mode and with the

shutter speed you specified with “Shutter” of the CAMERA SET menu.
