TWILIGHT
Makes evening scenes look more natural.
White Balance (
墌
pg. 39) is initially set to
, but can be changed to your desired
setting. When Twilight is chosen, the
camcorder automatically adjusts the focus
from approx. 10 m to infinity. From less than
10 m, adjust the focus manually. The flash
does not fire in this mode.
SEPIA*
1
Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like
old photos. Combine this with the Cinema
mode for a classic look.
MONOTONE*
1
Like classic black and white films, your
footage is shot in B/W. Used together with
the Cinema mode, it enhances the “classic
film” effect.
CLASSIC FILM*
2
Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.
STROBE*
2
Your recording looks like a series of
consecutive snapshots.
VIDEO ECHO*
3
Adds a “ghost” to the subject, giving your
recording a “fantasy” feeling. Zoom
magnification of over 10X is not available.
SLOW (Slow Shutter)*
4
Lights dark subjects or areas even brighter than they
would be under good natural lighting. Use “SLOW”
only in dark areas.
SLOW 1
Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity to allow shooting in
dark environments.
SLOW 2
Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity further to allow
shooting in even darker environments.
NOTES:
●
When using “SLOW”, the image takes on a strobe-like
effect.
●
If the manual focus indicator blinks when “SLOW” is
used, adjust focus manually and use a tripod.
SHUTTER (Variable Shutter Speed)
1/50
– The shutter speed is fixed at 1/50th of a second.
Black bands that usually appear when shooting a TV
screen become narrower.
1/100
– The shutter speed is fixed at 1/100th of a
second. The flickering that occurs when shooting under
a fluorescent light or mercury-vapour lamp is reduced.
1/250
– This setting allows fast-moving images to be
captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable slow-
motion playback. The faster the shutter speed, the
darker the picture becomes. Use the shutter function
under good lighting conditions.
IMPORTANT:
Some modes of Programme AE with special
effects cannot be used with certain Fade/Wipe
Effects (
墌
pg. 35). If an unusable mode is
selected, its indicator blinks or goes out.
