Shutter Speed Recording 3 Changing the Shutter Speed Mode 1 Set the SHUTTER switch to ON. • The shutter speed displayed on the bottom of the screen changes depending on the mode. For modes other than auto, the setting appears highlighted in orange. 2 Slide the SHUTTER switch toward SEL to change the mode. • Repeat step 2 until the desired mode is reached. The shutter speed mode changes in the following order: Auto → Speed → Angle → Clear Scan → Slow Shutter • If you selected auto mode, the rest of this procedure is not necessary. 3 Use the joystick or turn the SELECT dial to adjust the setting. • For clear scan mode, adjust the frequency so that black bands do not appear. 4 Press SET. • The orange frame will disappear. The selected setting and shutter speed mode will be set. • To change the mode again, start from step 2. Using Slow Shutter Mode When recording in dark surroundings, you can obtain a brighter picture by using slow shutter mode. You can also use this mode when you wish to add certain effects to your recordings, such as blurring the background during panning shots or recording a moving subject with an afterimage trail. • Image quality may not be as good as when using faster shutter speeds in brighter surroundings. • Autofocus may not work well. NOTES • When recording under artificial light sources such as fluorescent, mercury or halogen lamps, the screen may flicker depending on the shutter speed. To avoid the flicker, select speed mode and set the shutter speed to 1/50* or 1/100 (or an equivalent shutter speed in angle mode). *Available depending on the frame rate. • When you record under bright conditions using automatic aperture control, the camcorder closes down the aperture. This may cause the picture to appear blurred. To prevent this, set the shutter speed to 1/100 or faster. • When you set the camcorder to full auto mode (0 47), the shutter speed mode will be set to auto. • When the gain and aperture are set to manual and the shutter speed is not set to auto, the exposure bar will appear on the screen (0 65). 67
