Adjusting the shutter speed

You can manually adjust and fix the shutter
speed for your convenience. Depending on
the shutter speed, you can make the subject
look still, or on the contrary, emphasize the
fluidity of movement.
1
During recording or in the standby
mode, set the AUTO LOCK switch to
the center position to release the auto
lock mode.
2
Press SHUTTER SPEED.
3
Adjust the shutter speed by turning
the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial.
When 50i is selected in [50i/60i SEL] on the
(OTHERS) menu, you can select a
shutter speed between 1/3 second and
1/10000 second.
When 60i is selected in [50i/60i SEL], you
can select a shutter speed between 1/4
second and 1/10000 second.
The selected shutter speed appears on the
screen. For example, if you select 1/100
second, [100] appears. The larger the
number that appears on the screen, the
faster the shutter speed. The smaller the
number that appears on the screen, the
slower the shutter speed.
To restore automatic adjustment
Press SHUTTER SPEED, or set the AUTO
LOCK switch to AUTO LOCK.
b Note
• If you set the AUTO LOCK switch to AUTO
LOCK, other manually adjusted items (iris, gain,
white balance) also become temporarily automatic.
z Tip
• It is difficult to focus automatically at a lower shutter
speed. Manual focusing with your camcorder
attached to a tripod is recommended.
• The picture may flicker or change colors under
fluorescent lamps, sodium lamps, or mercury lamps.
Adjusting the volume of light
– ND FILTER
You can record the subject clearly by using
the ND filter when the recording
environment is too bright.
There are 2 levels of ND filter setting. ND
filter 1 reduces the volume of light to about
1/6, and ND filter 2 to about 1/32.
If [ND1] or [ND2] flashes in the standby
mode, set the ND FILTER switch to the
respective position.
