Exposure Settings - Canon CR-N500 Settings Manual

Exposure Settings

Settings for the shooting mode according to the shooting environment and subject, as well as the aperture, shutter speed,
and gain.
[Shooting Mode]
Switches the shooting mode according to the shooting environment and subject.
(Full Auto)
The exposure (aperture, shutter speed, gain, etc.) and White Balance settings are adjusted automatically.
(Program AE)
The exposure (aperture, shutter speed, gain, etc.) settings are adjusted automatically.
However, it is possible to set [AGC Limit], [AE Shift], [Metering Mode], and [AE Response].
(Manual Exposure)
The exposure (aperture, shutter speed, gain, etc.) is adjusted manually.
[ND Filter]
Choose whether to use the ND filter. ND filter can be switched to three levels (1/4, 1/16, 1/64). The ND filter allows to open
the aperture for a video with shallow depth of field even in a bright environment. This is also convenient for avoiding blur
caused by a small aperture when narrowing down the aperture.
Note
Changing the ND Filter settings in certain shooting conditions could generate some slight change in coloring. In this case, it is effective to
set the white balance when shooting (P. 27).
[Iris (Aperture Value)]
Adjusts the iris (aperture) according to the brightness of the subject.
When [Auto] is set, the iris is automatically adjusted according to the brightness of the subject.
When [Auto] is off, the iris can be manually adjusted. Moving the slider to the left opens the aperture and brightens the
video. Moving it to the right narrows the aperture and darkens the video. Following aperture values can be set.
F2.8, F3.1, F3.4, F3.7, F4, F4.4, F4.5, F4.8, F5.2, F5.6, F6.2, F6.7, F7.3, F8, F8.7, F9.5, F10, and F11
The aperture value that can be set differs depending on the zoom position (maximum wide angle: F2.8 to F11, maximum
telephoto: F4.5 to F11). Reference aperture value is displayed on the screen.
Note
• By changing the depth of field and blur the background or surroundings to make the subject stand out, set a smaller aperture value, and
to keep everything from close objects to far-away objects in focus, set a larger aperture value.
• When shooting in a bright location, narrowing down the iris can cause blurring. It is possible to prevent blurring by adjusting the ND filter
and shutter speed and opening the iris.
• When [AUTO] of the iris is set to off, the aperture value for Auto is inherited. The aperture value before setting to [AUTO] is not restored.
[Shutter Mode]
Adjusting the shutter speed enables to adapt to the shooting environment, making it possible to capture fast-moving
subjects (sports, vehicles, etc.) clearly and brighten low-light scenes, etc. Shutter speed can be adjusted in the following
modes:
[Auto (sec.)]
Automatically adjusts the shutter speed according to the brightness of the video.
[Speed (sec.)]
Sets the shutter speed to seconds. The shutter speed can also be set to a value higher than the frame rate.
