Program Auto Exposure While the OPTURA200 MC 's Easy Recording mode is fine for most shooting situations, the camcorder also includes eight additional pre-programmed auto exposure modes (Auto, Sports, Portrait, Spotlight, Sand & Snow, Low Light, Night and Super Night) each carefully designed to give you the best possible image Portrait results under special shooting conditions. Sand & Snow Sports Flexible LCD View Screen and Color Viewfinder The OPTURA200 MC 's bright 2.5" LCD view screen that makes it easy to compose sensational shots without having to squint into the viewfinder. You can rotate the screen for high-or lowangle shots, or turn it around 180° to record yourself. When you're done shooting, the screen is perfect for reviewing your scenes. Spotlight Low Light Manual Controls The fully-automatic OPTURA200 MC gives great results even in the hands of a novice, while experts will appreciate the manual focus, exposure, white balance and shutter speed controls. Night Mode and Super Night Mode Even when the light has faded, you can keep on shooting with the OPTURA200 MC 's Night and Super Night Mode. The camcorder selects the optimal shutter speed based on the brightness of the subject, allowing improved brightness and color. In Super Night Mode, the Super Night LED lights up to illuminate the subject. Now you can capture the action without turning the lights on.
