Adjusting the Exposure The camcorder determines the optimal exposure of a scene based on the average brightness of the whole picture. When you want to record a subject that is much brighter or darker than its surroundings, the automatic exposure obtained by the camcorder may not be best for that specific subject. To correct this, you can compensate the exposure to make the whole picture brighter or darker, you can use Touch AE to tell the camcorder to optimize the exposure for a selected subject, or you can use a combination of both. Operating modes: SCN POINTS TO CHECK • When the shooting mode is set to SCN , select a Special Scene mode other than [P Fireworks]. 1 Open the exposure adjustment screen.
