Initial Camera Settings
(1) [AE Mode], [ S low S hutter], [ S hutter S peed]
Set the exposure control and shutter speed for the
camera startup.
[AE Mode]
[Auto]
The exposure is controlled automatically.
[Auto (Flickerless)]
In this mode, video flickers caused by fluorescent
lights, etc., can be reduced. The shutter speed is
automatically adjusted according to the brightness
of the environment in which the camera is used.
[Auto (Flickerless 2)]
Use this mode if flickering is not reduced when
[Auto (Flickerless)] is selected. However, the
automatic adjustment range for the shutter speed is
suppressed so as not to exceed 1/100 sec. in this
mode, resulting in improper exposure (i.e.,
excessive brightness) in some cases.
[Auto (Shutter-priority AE)]
In this mode, a desired shutter speed can be
specified.
[ S low S hutter]
Slow shutter can be used only if [Auto], [Auto
(Flickerless)] or [Auto (Flickerless 2)] is selected in
[AE Mode].
Set the maximum slow shutter time to be used when
in auto exposure mode when capturing video in a
dark place. Select [Disable], [1/15], [1/8], [1/4] or
[1/2]. As slower shutter speed generates residual
video when capturing a moving subject, select an
appropriate time according to the capture conditions.
[ S hutter S peed]
Shutter speed can be used only if [Auto (Shutter-priority
AE)] is selected in [AE Mode].
Select a desired shutter speed from the 16 levels from
[1/2] to [1/16000]. When capturing a moving subject,
selecting a higher shutter speed can reduce blurry video
capture.
(2) [Exposure Compensation]
The exposure compensation when the camera starts
can be set in the range of [-4 (Dark)] to [4 (Bright)]. To
brighten the video, set a positive value. To darken the
video, set a negative value.
The setting is not available if [Smart Shade Control] is
set to [Auto].
(3) [Metering Mode]
Set the metering mode when the camera starts.
