Manual Exposure
Available modes:
TAPE-CAMERA, CARD-CAMERA
The camcorder is preset to Auto Exposure
mode, which automatically selects the optimal
aperture. However, when there is too much
contrast in brightness between the subject and
background, you may not be able to record a
clear image. In this case, use the manual
exposure function to correct the exposure level.
Background is too bright and subject too
dark (backlit subject).
• Increase the exposure level to allow more
light through the lens.
Subject is too bright against background.
• Decrease the exposure level to allow less
light through the lens.
