Provide control when adapting the camcorder to environmental conditions.
The camcorder changes recoding parameters such as white balance,
exposure, and ISO sensitivity to match the selected scene mode.
Scene
Manual compensation for low or bright light levels. The more negative "-"in
scale, the darker the recorded video appears. The more positive "+", the
lighter the recorded video appears. Options are:
Exposure
Changes recording parameters to compensate for different light color
"temperatures". Options are:
White Balance
Changes recoding ISO settings to compensate for some extreme lighting
situations.
Options are:
ISO Sensitivity
Auto – The simplest and usually safest way record video. Settings are
automatically adjusted by the camcorder. This is the default setting .
Recommended for novice users.
Sports – This setting optimize recording parameters to record video for objects
in constant motion. It should only be used in adequate lighting
situations.
Portrait – Attempts to isolate the subject by opening a wide aperture to blur the
background and providing little depth of field. The subject stands out
because the background is blurry and the subject is in focus.
Landscape – This setting brings distant objects like mountains and trees into
sharp focus.
Snow – This setting is best used when recording against a bright snow
background. The camcorder attempts to focus on the subject instead of
the background to determine the proper exposure and AWB settings for
optimal results. If not selected, the subject may be too dark and the
background "washed out".
Beach – This setting is similar to the Snow setting but optimized for light beach
sand backgrounds.
Fireworks - This setting optimizes recording options to capture fireworks in
brilliant sharp clarity. For best results and reduced blurring, the use
of a tripod for this setting is strongly recommended.
-2, -1.7, -1.3, -1, -.7, -.3, 0, .3, .7, 1, 1.3, 1.7, 2
0 is the neutral setting for this option and is the default value.
Auto – Allows the camcorder to automatically detect the light color temperature
and change its parameters to produce optimal recorded video
appearance. This is the default setting for this option.
Flouresc.1 – Select in standard indoor "warm" fluorescent lighting situations.
Daylight – Select when recoding in bright sunny outdoor lighting.
Flouresc.2 – Select in standard indoor "cool" fluorescent lighting situations
commonly found in office buildings.
Cloudy – Select for heavy overcast outdoor recording.
Flouresc.3 - Select in standard CFL bulb indoor fluorescent lighting situations.
Incandescent - Select in standard indoor filament bulb lighting.
Auto - This allows the camcorder to automatically detect the light levels and
change its aperture and shutter speed parameters to produce optimal
recorded video appearance. This is the default setting for this option.
ISO100 – Select if recording in bright outdoor light situations.
ISO200 – Select if recording in indirect sunlight situations.
ISO400 – Select if recording indoors.
