Exposure Adjustment:
At times, when filming out doors, backlit subjects may appear too dark (underexposed) or
subjects under very strong lights may appear too bright or glaring(overexposed). In such cases,
adjusting the exposure will correct this. This camcorder features a dedicated recording program ,
[M Manual Exposure], for adjusting the exposure manually.
Using the Manual Exposure Recording Program:
Using the [M Manual Exposure] recording program, you can adjust the aperture, shutter speed and
gain to achieve the desired exposure.
Manipulating these three things (Aperture, Shutter Speed, and Gain) will effect your
camera and the way that it picks up the light. Playing with theses features will allow you
to become more aware of the lighting conditions and where to set you camera at to get
the best picture.
1. Activate the [M Manual Exposure] recording program by touching [FUNC.] > [Rec Programs] >
[M manual Exposure]
2. Touch the control setting you wish to adjust.
