„ Setting the Exposure

(1) Exposure Mode

Select from [Auto], [Manual], [Auto (Flickerless)] or

[Auto (Shutter-priority AE)].

If [Auto] is selected for [Day/Night] under [Camera] in

the Setting page (p. 53), select [Auto], [Auto

(Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)].

[Auto]

The exposure is controlled automatically.

[Manual]

The exposure is set by adjusting the shutter speed,

aperture and gain values manually.

[Auto (Flickerless)]
In this mode, video flickering caused by fluorescent

lights, etc., can be reduced. The shutter speed is

automatically adjusted according to the brightness

of the environment in which the camera is used.

[Auto (Shutter-priority AE)]
In this mode, the desired shutter speed can be

specified.

(2) [Exposure Compensation]

When [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-

priority AE)] is selected for [Exposure], the exposure

compensation value desired can be selected from

nine levels (-4 to +4) using the slider.

To darken the image, select a negative value. To

brighten the image, select a positive value.

(3) [Metering Mode]

When [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-

priority AE)] is selected for [Exposure], the metering

mode can be selected from [Center-Weighted],

[Average] or [Spot].

When [Manual] or [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)] is

selected for [Exposure], select the shutter speed

desired. If [Manual] is selected, set the shutter speed

in the range of [1/1 sec] to [1/16000 sec] from a pull-

down menu. If [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)] is selected,

set the shutter speed in the range of [1/2 sec] to

[1/16000 sec] from a pull-down menu.

When capturing a moving subject, selecting a higher

shutter speed can reduce blurry video capture.

aperture value.

Moving the slider to the left closes the aperture and

Moving the slider to the right increases the gain and

brightens the image.
