Sharpness Menu
You can set the level of sharpness in the images taken with your camcorder. The sharpness level
dictates if the edges of objects in the image are more or less distinct.
The Sharpness Menu Options include:
Exposure Menu
The Exposure setting helps you control the amount of light that enters your camcorder's lens. This
setting should be adjusted when the environment is lighter or darker than normal.
 When the environment has more light than is needed, reduce the exposure setting (by using the
negative - count) to reduce the amount of light allowed into the lens by your camcorder.
 If the environment has less light (darker) than is needed, increase the exposure setting (by using
the positive + count) to increase the amount of light allowed into the lens by your camcorder.
The Exposure Menu Options include:
ISO Menu
The ISO menu allows you to set the level of sensitivity that your camcorder has to light in the
surrounding environment. When the ISO level is increased, the image sensor in your camcorder will be
more sensitive to light and allow you to capture images in lower-light situations. The higher sensitivity
to light however, may reduce the quality of the images that are taken.
