[Auto (Shutter-priority AE)].

If [Auto] is selected for [Day/Night] under [Camera] in

the Setting page (p. 53), select [Auto], [Auto

(Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)].

[Auto]

The exposure is controlled automatically.

[Manual]

The exposure is set by adjusting the shutter speed,

aperture and gain values manually.

In this mode, video flickering caused by fluorescent

lights, etc., can be reduced. The shutter speed is

automatically adjusted according to the brightness

of the environment in which the camera is used.

[Auto (Shutter-priority AE)]
In this mode, the desired shutter speed can be

specified.

(2) [Exposure Compensation]

When [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-

priority AE)] is selected for [Exposure], the exposure

compensation value desired can be selected from

nine levels (-4 to +4) using the slider.

When [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-

priority AE)] is selected for [Exposure], the metering
