Advanced Recording Operations
Using the PROGRAM AE function
You can use the PROGRAM AE (Auto Exposure) function to suit your specific shooting
requirements.
Spotlight
This mode prevents people’s faces, for example, from appearing excessively white
when shooting subjects lit by strong light in a theater.
Soft portrait
This mode brings out the subject while creating a soft background for subjects such as
people or flowers.
Beach & ski
This mode prevents people’s faces from appearing dark in strong light or reflected light,
such as at a beach in midsummer or on a ski slope.
Sunset & moon
This mode allows you to maintain atmosphere when you are recording sunsets, general
night views, and neon signs.
Landscape
This mode is for when you are recording distant subjects such as mountains and
prevents your camcorder from focusing on glass or metal mesh in windows when you
are recording a subject behind glass or a screen.
Low lux
This mode makes subjects brighter in insufficient light.
