Press the scroll down button for more options.
The sixth icon is for Image stabilization (icon is a wavy hand).
This setting is useful during hand held work. Turn it off when working on a tripod.
The seventh icon is SHTR (shutter).
Press this button and you will see a sliding scale at the bottom of the frame. The numbers
indicate Shutter Angles. The angle determines the speed of the shutter when it is operating
during recording. Normally the USC SCA Required Settings Assign it to 180.00 which gives
us a shutter speed of 1/48 of a second at 24 frames per second. Shutter angle is critical to
how we view motion. Your instructor will train and inform you more about this subject. For
now leave it at 180.00, the USC SCA required setting.
The eighth icon is IRIS (also known as aperture).
Your lens has an adjustable iris, just like your eye. It closes down in bright light and opens up
when light is dim. We call this the aperture. It is measured in F Stops. Each F Stop allows
more or less light onto the sensor.
The dial on the hand grip between the on/off and record button is also set to adjust the iris
(aperture or F Stop). This is more accessible than going into the menu.
The ninth icon is for Microphone Level (auto or manual).
You will be issued an external microphone and your sound instructor will provide you with
details regarding the audio settings
.
By selecting the manual setting you will be able to adjust the level of volume of the internal
microphone.
Pressing the X in the box on the top right of the screen will take you out of the function menu.
