JVC GR-DVM55EG Instructions Manual page 47

SHUTTER (Variable Shutter Speed)
1/60 – The shutter speed is fixed at 1/60th of a
second. Black bands that usually appear when
shooting a TV screen become narrower.
1/100 – The shutter speed is fixed at 1/100th of a
second. The flickering that occurs when shooting
under a fluorescent light or mercury-vapour lamp
is reduced.
SPORTS
(Variable Shutter Speed: 1/250 – 1/4000)
This setting allows fast-moving images to be
captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable
slow-motion playback. The faster the shutter
speed, the darker the picture becomes. Use the
shutter function under good lighting conditions.
SNOW
Compensates for subjects that may otherwise
appear too dark when shooting in extremely
bright surroundings such as in the snow.
SPOTLIGHT
Compensates for subjects that may otherwise
appear too bright when shooting under extremely
strong direct lighting such as spotlights.
NOTE:
"SPOTLIGHT" has the same effect as –3 with the
exposure control ( pg. 52).
TWILIGHT
Makes evening scenes look more natural.
White Balance ( pg. 53) is automatically set to
" ", but can be changed to your desired
setting. When Twilight is chosen, the camcorder
automatically adjusts the focus from approx. 10
m (32 ft) to infinity. From less than 10 m (32 ft),
adjust the focus manually. The flash does not fire
in this mode.
SEPIA
Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old
photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for
a classic look.
MONOTONE
Like classic black and white films, your footage is
shot in B/W. Used together with the Cinema
mode, it enhances the "classic film" effect.
CLASSIC FILM
Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.
STROBE
Your recording looks like a series of consecutive
snapshots.
SLOW (Slow Shutter)
Lights dark subjects or areas even brighter than
they would be under good natural lighting. Use
"SLOW" only in dark areas.
SLOW 4X
Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity to allow
shooting in dark environments.
SLOW 10X
Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity further to
allow shooting in even darker environments.
NOTES:
When using "SLOW", the image takes on a strobe-
like effect.
If the manual focus indicator blinks when "SLOW"
is used, adjust focus manually and use a tripod.
VIDEO ECHO
Adds a "ghost" to the subject, giving your
recording a "fantasy" feeling. Zoom magnifica-
tion of over 10X is not available.
