Using the Aperture-Priority AE
Mode
You can select an aperture value, and the camcorder automatically chooses the
appropriate shutter speed.
Aperture values: 1.8, 2.0, 2.4, 2.8, 3.4, 4.0, 4.8, 5.6, 6.7, 8.0, 9.5, 11, 14, 16
Use low aperture values (large aperture) to blur the background for a portrait, or high
aperture values (small aperture) to achieve a broad depth of field for recording
landscapes.
Available only in the
and
modes.
1. Set the mode dial to and select
(
41).
2. Press the SET dial.
3. Turn the SET dial to select an aperture value.
• The shutter speed is adjusted automatically.
• The aperture becomes smaller the bigger the aperture value.
The aperture number flashes when the selected aperture is not appropriate for
the recording condition. In such case, readjust the aperture.
Available aperture values vary depending on the zoom position.
