[100] appears on the screen when you set the shutter speed to 1/100 second. The larger the value on the screen, the faster the shutter speed. 4 Press the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial G to lock the shutter speed. To readjust the shutter speed, do steps 2 to 4. z Tips • You can set the shutter speed between 1/3 second and 1/10000 second with the setting of [REC SET] t [REC FORMAT] t [HD 1080/ 24p FX SD 480/24pSCAN HQ] or [HD 1080/ 24p FH SD 480/24pSCAN HQ]. • It is difficult to focus automatically at a lower shutter speed. Manual focusing with your camcorder attached to a tripod is recommended. • When recording under fluorescent lamps, sodium lamps, or mercury lamps, the picture may flicker or change colors, or may have horizontal bands of noise. You may be able to improve the situation by adjusting the shutter speed. To adjust the shutter speed automatically Press the SHUTTER SPEED button D twice, or set the AUTO/MANUAL switch H to AUTO. The shutter speed value disappears, or appears next to the shutter speed value. b Notes • When you set the AUTO/MANUAL switch H to AUTO, other manually adjusted items (iris, gain, white balance) also become automatic. Adjusting the volume of light (ND filter) You can record the subject clearly by using the ND filter B when the recording environment is too bright. The ND filters 1, 2 and 3 reduce the volume of light to about 1/4, 1/16 and 1/64, respectively. If flashes during the iris automatic adjustment, set the ND filter to 1. If flashes during the iris automatic adjustment, set the ND filter to 2. If flashes during the iris automatic adjustment, set the ND filter to 3. The ND filter indicator will stop flashing and remain on the screen. If flashes, set the ND filter to OFF. The ND filter icon will disappear from the screen. b Notes • If you change the ND filters B during recording, the movie and sound may be distorted. • When adjusting the iris manually, the ND filter icon does not flash even if the light volume should be adjusted with the ND filter. • If the camcorder cannot detect the ND filter position (OFF/1/2/3), flashes on the screen. Make sure that the ND filter is set correctly. z Tips • While recording a bright subject, diffraction may occur if you close the aperture further down, resulting in a fuzzy focus (this is a common phenomenon with video cameras). The ND filter B suppresses this phenomenon and gives better recording results. Adjusting to natural color (White balance) Continued , 31 Recording/Playback
