Recording with Fixed Brightness
(AE Lock)
The AE Lock Function lets you record a subject
with the same brightness even when the lighting
conditions change greatly. For example, when
you record a person who moves from a bright to a
dark place, or vice versa, this function prevents
the person’s face from becoming brighter or
darker.
1
Push the [W/T] Lever
(51)
toward [T] to
zoom in on the subject.
2
Set the [AUTO/MANUAL/AE LOCK] Switch
(31)
to [AE LOCK].
≥
The [
] Indication flashes and then
lights. The brightness of the picture is now
locked to the value it had at the moment of
setting the switch to [AE LOCK].
To Cancel the AE Lock
Set the [AUTO/MANUAL/AE LOCK] Switch to
[AUTO] or [MANUAL].
To Lock the Brightness at a Desired Level
After Step 1, set the [AUTO/MANUAL/AE LOCK]
Switch to [MANUAL] to adjust the iris/gain
manually (
-90-
) and then set the
[AUTO/MANUAL/AE LOCK] Switch to
[AE LOCK].
≥
Set the AE Lock again when the
[AUTO/MANUAL/AE LOCK] Switch is switched
after the AE Lock has been set. (The brightness
setting may be changed.)

Zebra Pattern
Using the Zebra Pattern makes it easy to adjust
the brightness of the picture to an optimum level,
even before you start recording.

Set [TAPE RECORDING MENU] or
[CARD RECORDING MENU] >>
[ADVANCED] >> [ZEBRA] >> [ON].
≥
Diagonal white bands (Zebra Pattern) and
[
] Indication appear on parts of the
picture which are overexposed (extremely
brightly lit and shiny subjects).
≥
To prevent recording of overexposed, whitish
pictures, manually adjust the iris/gain (
-90-
) so
that the Zebra Pattern disappears. The
recorded picture may become dark.

The Zebra Pattern is not recorded.
