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. 1/250, 1/500-These settings allow fast-moving images to be captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable slow-motion playback. The faster the shutter speed, the darker the picture becomes. Use the shutter function under good lighting conditions. TWILIGHT Makes evening scenes look more natural. White Balance (੬ pg. 28) 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. SEPIA Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a classic look. MONOTONE Like classic black and white films, your footage is shot in B/W. Used together with the Cinema mode, it enhances the "classic film" effect. CLASSIC FILM Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect. STROBE Your recording looks like a series of consecutive snapshots. SLOW (Slow Shutter) You can light dark subjects or areas even brighter than they would be under good natural lighting. SLOW 4X The Shutter Speed is set to 1/15th of a second to quadruple the sensitivity. SLOW 10X The Shutter Speed is set to 1/6th of a second to provide 10 times the sensitivity. NOTES: ● When using "SLOW", the image takes on a strobe-like effect. ● Use "SLOW" only in dark areas. ● The Manual Focus indication may appear and flash when "SLOW" is in use. ● If the image is out of focus, adjust manually. It is also recommended that you use a tripod, if possible. VIDEO ECHO Adds a "ghost" to the subject, giving your recording a "fantasy" feeling.
