Selecting automatic/manual adjustment modes

The camcorder’s automatic functions offer you worry-free operation under most shooting conditions. But in some circumstances, manual adjustment is better for creative recording.

You can adjust focus, aperture, shutter speed, gain, and white balance automatically or manually. Also, you can use the PROGRAM AE function in particular circumstances, and adjust the brightness of the picture with the AE shift function.

Here’s the overview of each manual adjustment. See the following pages for detailed information.

To focus manually

Set FOCUS to MANUAL. You can adjust the focus regardless of the position of the AUTO LOCK/ HOLD switch. When you want to focus automatically, set FOCUS to AUTO.

To manually adjust aperture, shutter speed, gain, and white balance

Set AUTO LOCK/HOLD to the centre position. You can adjust each item independently. When you want to adjust each item automatically, set AUTO LOCK/HOLD to AUTO LOCK.

To manually adjust the brightness

Use AE SHIFT in the menu system.
