PROGRAM AE
OFF: Disables the function. (Factory-preset)
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.
SHUTTER 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 surroundings 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. (
੬ pg. 33)
TWILIGHT: Makes evening scenes look more
natural. White Balance ( ੬ pg. 34) is automatically 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.
SEPIA: Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like
old photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a
classic look.
MONOTONE: 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*: Gives recorded scenes a strobe
effect.
STROBE*: Your recording looks like a series of
consecutive snapshots.
* Available only when the VIDEO/MEMORY Switch is set to
“VIDEO”.
This feature lets you record still images that look like
photographs onto a tape.

certain modes of Program AE with special effects are

sound is not heard from the speaker, however it is recorded
onto the tape.
Motor Drive Mode
Keeping SNAPSHOT pressed in step 5 provides an
effect similar to serial photography. (Interval between still
images: approx. 1 second)
● The Motor Drive mode is disabled when “REC SELECT” is
set to “ / ”. ( ੬ pg. 27)
