Adjusting the exposure manually

You can manually adjust and set the exposure. When you turn your camcorder on, it will automatically be in the automatic exposure mode. This mode works to record subjects so that they are recorded slightly brighter than they actually are.

Adjust the exposure manually in the following cases:

•The subject is backlit

•Bright subject and dark background

•To record dark pictures (e.g. night scenes) faithfully

(1) Press EXPOSURE in the standby or recording mode. The exposure indicator appears.

(2) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to adjust the brightness.
