Description

Recording in the Manual Mode on the XL H1A and XL H1S camcorders

Solution

Recording in the Manual Mode

Push AE Operation

You can set the exposure at any combination of shutter speed and aperture. The aperture value can be adjusted in 1/16 EV stops; however, the aperture value displayed on the screen will change only in 1/4 EV stops.

  1. Set the <POWER> dial to M.
    The exposure indicator appears.

  2. Select the aperture with the <IRIS> dial or iris ring (on lenses with a iris ring).

  3. Select the shutter speed with the <SHUTTER> or button.

Note:
  • You can use the custom keys or the [SYSTEM SETUP] [SHTR B.LOCK] setting to prevent the accidental operation of the SHUTTER buttons.
  • With the custom function [IRIS LIMIT] you can activate the iris limit to prevent the aperture from closing below the diffraction limit of the lens. If the iris limit is not activated, aperture values that exceed the diffraction limit will appear in gray when selecting the aperture. Using aperture values displayed in gray will cause diffraction blur.
  • When a lens without iris control function is used, the aperture value will not appear on the screen.
  • With the custom function [LANC AE SHIFT], you can change the function of the AE SHIFT
  • dial on the optional ZR-2000 Zoom Remote Controller and use it to change the aperture value.

Push AE operation

In M Manual mode you can use the Push AE function when you want the camcorder to re-establish optimal exposure settings by automatically adjusting the aperture and gain (if the GAIN dial is set to A).

Press the PUSH AE button and hold it pressed down.
  • The Push AE function is not available when no lens is attached to the camcorder, or if the aperture of the lens attached cannot be controlled from the camcorder.
  • You can use the custom keys or the [SYSTEM SETUP] [E.LCK B.LCK] setting to prevent the accidental operation of the PUSH AE button.
