Setting the Shutter Speed
(Tv
Mode)
In
Tv
(Shutter-Priority) mode, you can adjust the shutter speed to make stable shots
of fast moving subjects or when recording in dimly lit places.
1. Turn the mode dial to Tv.
o
Aperture is adjusted automatically.
o
If the shutter speed is set to 1/1000 or higher in CAMERA mode and you
switch to CARD CAMERA mode, it automatically changes to 1/500.
o
If the shutter speed is set to 1/4 or slower in CARD CAMERA mode and you
switch to CAMERA mode, it automatically changes to 1/8.
o
If you set a shutter speed that is either too high or too low for the recording
condition, the indicator flashes. Increase or decrease the setting until the
flashing stops.
o
Recording under fluorescent lights in CAMERA mode: When the camcorder is
set to Easy Recording, Auto, Night or Super Night mode, it automatically
detects the flicker of fluorescent lighting and adjusts the shutter speed
accordingly. However, if the brightness of the screen starts to flicker, select Tv
mode and set the shutter speed to 1/100.
o
When recording in dark places, we recommend using the Video Flash Light
VFL-1 or Video Light VL-3 (both optional).
2. Turn the EXP dial to select the shutter speed.
Turn the EXP dial up for a slower shutter and down for a faster
shutter.
