Changing The Shutter Speed And Aperture - Canon VIXIA HFS11 Instruction Manual

• [.¥ Fireworks]:
- To avoid camcorder blur (blur due to the camcorder moving) we
recommend using a tripod.
- In
8".1
mode, slower shutter speeds are used so blur is more likely to
occur. Stabilize the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a
tripod.
Changing the Shutter Speed and Aperture
Select the [P Programmed AE] recording program to use functions like
the white balance or image effects. Select one of the other automatic
exposure recording programs to control the shutter speed or aperture.
Options
(+ Default value)
[P Programmed AE]+
The camcorder automatically adjusts the
aperture and shutter speed to obtain the optimal exposure for
the subject.
[Tv
Shutter-Priority AE]
Set the shutter speed value. The cam-
corder automatically sets the appropriate aperture value. Use
faster shutter speeds to record subjects moving quickly; use
slower shutter speeds to add motion blur, emphasizing the feel of
movement.
[AV Aperture-Priority AE]
Set the aperture value. The camcorder
automatically sets the appropriate shutter speed. Use low aper-
ture values (larger lens opening) to softly blur the background in a
portrait; use high aperture values (smaller lens opening) to get a
wider depth of field,
giving
a sharp
focus aU
throughout a land-
scape.
