Advanced Recording Operations
Using the PROGRAM AE
You can select PROGRAM AE (Auto Exposure) mode 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 the theater.
Soft portrait
This mode brings out the subject while creating a soft background for subjects such as
people or flowers.
Sports lesson
This mode minimizes shake on fast-moving subjects such as in tennis or golf.
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, fireworks displays and neon signs.
Landscape
This mode is for when you record distant subjects such as mountains. Also it prevents
your camcorder from focusing on glass or metal mesh in windows when you are
recording a subject behind glass or a screen.
