FOR RECORDING (cont.)

SHUTTER (Variable Shutter Speed)

1/50 – The shutter speed is fixed at 1/50th of a second. Black bands that usually appear when shooting a TV screen become narrower.

1/120 – The shutter speed is fixed at 1/120th of a second. The flickering that occurs when shooting under a fluorescent light or mercury-vapour lamp is reduced.

SPORTS

(Variable Shutter Speed: 1/250 – 1/4000)

This setting allows fast- moving images to be

captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable

slow-motion playback. The faster the shutter speed, the darker the picture becomes. Use the shutter function under good lighting conditions.

SNOW

Compensates for subjects that may otherwise appear too dark when shooting in extremely bright surroundings such as in the snow.

SPOTLIGHT

Compensates for subjects that may otherwise appear too bright when shooting under extremely strong direct lighting such as spotlights.

TWILIGHT

Makes evening scenes

look more natural.

White Balance

( pg. 54) is automati-

cally set to “”, but can be changed to your

desired setting. When Twilight is chosen, the camcorder automatically adjusts the focus from approx. 10 m to infinity. From less than 10 m, adjust the focus manually. The flash does not fire in this mode.

SEPIA

Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a classic look.

MONOTONE

Like classic black and white films, your footage is shot in B/W. Used together with the Cinema mode, it enhances the “classic film” effect.

CLASSIC FILM Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.

STROBE

Your recording looks like a series of consecutive snapshots.

VIDEO ECHO Adds a “ghost” to the subject, giving your recording a “fantasy” feeling. Zoom magnifica- tion of over 10X is not available.
