Camera Recording
Setting the Shutter Speed
Available modes: TAPE-CAMERA, DUAL-
CAMERA, CARD-CAMERA
The shutter speed of the camcorder is preset to
auto mode, which automatically chooses the
optimal shutter speed for the ambient light.
However, depending on the subject or
situation, you may want to set the shutter
speed manually to create a high-quality
picture.
Recommended Shutter Speeds
The faster the shutter speed, the darker the
picture becomes. Select the most appropriate
shutter speed for the ambient light.
Situation
• Recording sports action in
bright daylight.
• Recording in bright daylight
at a ski resort.
• Recording outdoor sports on
a partially cloudy day.
• Recording an outside scene
through a car window (when
you want to minimize blur
caused by the camera
shaking).
• When you want to reduce
the light by half. Use as a
substitute for an ND2 filter.
Tips on Using the Manual Shutter
Speed
• Fast shutter speeds can be used with the still
recording function (see pages 39 to 41 and
73) to record higher quality still images of
fast-moving subjects.
• If the on-screen picture flickers when
recording under fluorescent lighting, you may
be able to compensate by setting the shutter
speed to 1/120 sec.
