Flexible Recording: Changing The Aperture And Shutter Speed - Canon HG10 Instruction Manual

Flexible Recording: Changing the
Aperture and Shutter Speed
Use the automatic exposure (AE)
program or give priority to the exposure
value or the shutter speed.
Use a high shutter speed to record fast
moving subjects or a slow shutter
speed to add motion blur, emphasizing
the feel of movement.
Use low aperture values (larger lens
opening) to softly blur the background
in a portrait or high aperture values
(smaller lens opening) to get a wider
depth of field, giving a sharp focus all
throughout a landscape.
