AE function
You can select PROGRAM AE (Auto Exposure)
mode to suit your specific shooting requirements.
This mode prevents people's faces, for example,
from appearing excessively white when shooting
subjects lit by strong light in the theatre.
This mode brings out the subject while creating a
soft background for subjects such as people or
flowers.
This mode minimises shake on fast-moving
subjects such as in tennis or golf.
This mode prevents people's faces from
appearing dark in strong light or reflected light,
such as at a beach in midsummer or on a ski
slope.
This mode allows you to maintain atmosphere
when you are recording sunsets, general night
views, fireworks displays and neon signs.
This mode is for when you are recording distant
subjects such as mountains and prevents your
camcorder from focusing on glass or metal mesh
in windows when you are recording a subject
behind glass or a screen.
This mode makes subjects brighter in insufficient
light.
