Record Mode 41 Menu options/operations Exposure Measure The camcorder adjusts the exposure (amount of light the camcorder receives from the scene) automatically. The Exposure settings available are: The camcorder meters the light in an Auto average value for the overall scene and adjusts the exposure automatically. This setting is suitable for normal conditions. The camcorder still meters the light in an average value for the entire scene, but Center gives greater weight to the center. This way, the center of the image appears more clear, while the surrounding may appear darker. The camcorder only meters the light in the Spot middle spot of the scene. This setting is typically used, for example, in capturing the light of a candle.
