Select this program for total creative freedom when operating the camcorder. You
can set aperture, shutter speed and gain independently to give you exactly the
exposure you require.
You can select between 30 shutter speed settings (1/8 to 1/15000), 19 aperture
values (f/1.6 to f/8.0) and 4 gain values (0dB to +18dB) in TAPE CAMERA mode.

Select MANUAL mode and set the shutter speed, aperture and gain.

• For further details, see “Adjusting the Exposure Manually” (

76).

This program is designed for recording spotlit scenes,
such as on a stage. The exposure is automatically
adjusted for glare-free recordings of subjects lit by a
concentrated light source.

Use this program in places where the background is so
bright that the subject appears underexposed in the
display — a sunny beach or ski resort, for example. You
may notice some shudder when recording moving subjects.
