The camcorder is preset to Auto Exposure
mode, which automatically chooses the optimal
aperture. When there is too much contrast in
brightness between the subject and back-
ground, however, you may not be able to
record a clear image. In this case, use the
manual exposure function to correct the
exposure level.
Background is too bright and subject too
dark (backlit subject).
• Increase the exposure level to allow more light
through the lens.
Subject is too bright against background.
• Decrease the exposure level to allow less light
through the lens.
