●
The selected effect will be shown for approx. 2
seconds before the camcorder returns to the
menu screen.
NOTES:
● Shutter Effects cannot be used during “NIGHT”.
● When a subject is too bright or reflective, a
vertical streak may appear (smear
phenomenon). Smear phenomenon tends to
occur when “SPORTS” or any mode of
“SHUTTER 1/500 – 1/4000” is selected.
PROGRAM AE
OFF: Disables the function. (Factory-preset)
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
slow-motion 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.
TWILIGHT : Makes evening scenes look
more natural. White Balance (੬ pg. 39) is
automatically set to “AUTO”. When Twilight is
chosen, the camcorder automatically adjusts
the focus from approx. 10 m (32 ft) to infinity.
From less than 10 m, adjust the focus
manually.
NIGHT : Makes dark subjects or areas
even brighter than they would be under good
natural lighting. Although the recorded image
is not grainy, it may look as if it is strobing due
to the slow shutter speed.
During Night-Alive, it may be difficult to bring
the camcorder into focus. To prevent this, use
of a tripod is recommended.
EFFECT
OFF: Disables the function. (Factory-preset)
SEPIA : Recorded scenes have a
brownish tint like old photos.
MONOTONE : Like classic black and white
films, your footage is shot in B/W.
CLASSIC* : Gives recorded scenes a
strobe effect.
STROBE* : Your recording looks like a
series of consecutive snapshots.
MIRROR* : Creates a mirror image on the
left half of the screen, juxtaposed to the normal
image on the other half.
* Not available for still image recording.
SHUTTER
OFF: Disables the function. (Factory-preset)
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.
SHUTTER 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-vapour lamp is reduced.
SHUTTER 1/500/SHUTTER 1/4000*:
(Refer to PROGRAM AE - SPORTS
mode.)
* Not available for still image recording.
