JVC DVL720U Instruction Manual - Page 37

SHUTTER 1/60-The shutter speed is fixed at 1/60th of a second. Black bands that usually appear when shooting a TV screen become narrower. 1/100-The shutter speed is fixed at 1/100th of a second. The flickering that occurs when shooting under a fluorescent light or mercury-vapor lamp is reduced. EN 37 SEPIA Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a classic look. MONOTONE Like black and white films, your footage is shot in B/W. Used together with the Cinema mode, it enhances the "classic film" effect. 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 slowmotion 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. NOTE: "SPOTLIGHT" has the same effect as -3 with the exposure control (੬ pg. 42). TWILIGHT Makes evening scenes look more natural. White Balance (੬ pg. 43) is initially set to , but can be changed to your desired setting. When Twilight is chosen, the camcorder automatically adjusts the focus from approx. 10 m (32 ft) to infinity. From less than 10 m (32 ft), adjust the focus manually. CLASSIC FILM Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect. STROBE Your recording looks like a series of consecutive snapshots. SLOW (Slow Shutter) Lights dark subjects or areas even brighter than they would be under good natural lighting. Use "SLOW" only in dark areas. SLOW 4X Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity to allow shooting in dark environments. SLOW 10X Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity further to allow shooting in even darker environments. NOTES: ● When using "SLOW", the image takes on a strobe- like effect. ● When using "SLOW", it may be difficult to bring the camcorder into focus. To prevent this, use of manual focus and/or a tripod is recommended.
