FOR RECORDING (cont.)
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.
VIDEO ECHO
Adds a “ghost” to the
subject, giving your
recording a “fantasy”
feeling. Zoom magnifica-
tion of over 10X is not
available.
NOTES:
For NIGHT MODE:
● During Night-Mode, the following functions or
settings cannot be activated and its indicator
blinks or goes out:
• Some modes of “Picture Wipe/Dissolve” ( ੬ pg.
49, 50).
• “GAIN UP” in CAMERA Menu ( ੬ pg. 40).
• “DIS” in MANUAL Menu ( ੬ pg. 40).
● During Night-Mode, it may be difficult to bring
the camcorder into focus. To prevent this, use of
manual focus and/or a tripod is recommended.
For SLOW (Slow Shutter):
● 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.
For SPOTLIGHT:
“SPOTLIGHT” has the same effect as –3 with the
exposure control (
੬ pg. 53).
SHUTTER (Variable Shutter Speed)
1/50 – The shutter speed is fixed at 1/50th of a
second. Black bands that usually appear when
shooting a TV screen become narrower.
1/120 – The shutter speed is fixed at 1/120th of a
second. The flickering that occurs when shooting
under a fluorescent light or mercury-vapour lamp
is reduced.
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. 54) is automati-
cally set to “ ”, but can
be changed to your
desired setting. When Twilight is chosen, the
camcorder automatically adjusts the focus from
approx. 10 m to infinity. From less than 10 m,
adjust the focus manually. The flash does not fire
in this mode.
