Shutter Speed
Set the shutter speed based on the recording conditions. For example, you may want to set slower shutter
speeds in darker environments. The camcorder offers the following 6 modes.
Operating modes:
Off: The camcorder uses a standard shutter speed based on the frame rate.
Automatic ([Automatic]): The camcorder automatically adjusts the shutter speed based on the picture's
brightness. This mode is not available during slow & fast motion recording mode. In this mode, the A icon will
appear on the screen next to the shutter speed.
Speed ([Speed]): Allows you to set the shutter speed (in fractions of a second).
Angle ([Angle]): You can set the shutter angle to determine the shutter speed.
Clear scan ([Clear Scan]): Set the frequency in order to record CRT computer monitors without displaying black
bands or flicker on the screen.
Slow shutter ([Slow]): You can set slower shutter speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient
lighting. This mode is not available during slow & fast motion recording mode.
