Aperture-Priority ( 69)
Use this mode to select between 7 aperture settings–from f/1.6 to f/9.5 (or to full iris
close)–and the camcorder automatically sets a matching shutter speed. This mode
allows for the best control of depth of field.
Manual ( 70)
This mode offers the creative freedom of a complete range of manual controls. In
the Manual mode, you have the option to set the exposure at any combination of
shutter speed and aperture levels.
Spotlight
The Spotlight mode automatically adjusts the exposure to effectively record images
and/or subjects lit by a spotlight or other concentrated light source.
Night
p This mode allows you to continue recording even when light levels begin to fall. The
camcorder uses lower shutter speeds (1/3–1/500) to deliver proper exposure.
Moving subjects may leave a trailing afterimage.
Picture quality may not be as good as in other modes.
White points may appear on the screen.
Autofocus may not work as well as in other modes. In such case, adjust the focus manually.
