FOR RECORDING
(GR-DX300/DX100 only)
SHUTTER
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.
1/120:
The shutter speed is fixed at 1/120th of a
second. The flickering that occurs when shooting under
a fluorescent light or mercury-vapour lamp is reduced.
SPORTS
(Variable Shutter Speed: 1/250 – 1/4000)
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.
SNOW
Compensates for subjects that may otherwise appear
too dark when shooting in extremely bright surround-
ings such as in the snow.
SPOTLIGHT
Compensates for subjects that may otherwise appear
too bright when shooting under extremely strong direct
lighting such as spotlights.
NOTE:
“SPOTLIGHT” has the same effect as –3 with the exposure
control (
墌
pg. 30).
TWILIGHT
Makes evening scenes look more natural.
White Balance (
墌
pg. 31) 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.

Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old photos.
Combine this with the Cinema mode for a classic look.
MONOTONE
Like 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*
Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.
STROBE*
Your recording looks like a series of consecutive
snapshots.
MIRROR*
Creates a mirror image on the left half of the screen,
juxtaposed to the normal image on the other half.

Switch
