Notes
The larger the number, the higher the noise

level.
Tips

You can set a faster shutter speed, and reduce

image blur in dark locations or of moving
subjects by increasing ISO sensitivity (select a
larger number).
Gain/ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure

Index) is the sensitivity to light of recording
media that incorporates an image sensor that
receives light. Even when the exposure is the
same, images differ depending on the Gain/ISO
setting.
High Gain/ISO sensitivity

With high Gain/ISO sensitivity, images will
be captured with an appropriate brightness
even under insufficient exposure. However,
increasing Gain/ISO sensitivity will cause
images to become noisy.
Low Gain/ISO sensitivity

You can record smooth images. However, the
shutter speed may slow down to compensate
for low Gain/ISO sensitivity. You should take
camera shake or movement of subjects into
account, too.
AE Shift
You can adjust the exposure manually.
 Off
Optimizes exposure automatically.
On (EV and adjusted number)
Allows for further manual adjustment, after
optimum exposure has been determined by
your camcorder.
