Shutter Speed

Solution

 

Set the shutter speed based on the recording conditions. For example, you may want to set slower shutter speeds in darker environments. The camcorder offers the following 5 modes.

Operating modes:

[Speed]: Allows you to set the shutter speed (in fractions of a second). You can select the increment to use when adjusting the shutter speed between 1/3-stop and 1/4-stop increments.

[Angle]: You can set the shutter angle to determine the shutter speed.

[Clear Scan]: Set the frequency in order to record CRT computer monitors without displaying black bands or flicker on the screen.

[Slow]: You can set slower shutter speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting. This mode is not available during slow & fast motion recording mode.

[Off]: The camcorder uses a standard shutter speed based on the frame rate.

 

Changing the Shutter Speed Mode and Value

1 Open the shutter [Mode] submenu.

[Camera Setup] > [Shutter] > [Mode]

2 Select the desired mode and then press SET.

  • If you selected [Speed] (the default value) you can select the increment scale to use when adjusting the shutter speed; otherwise, skip to step 5.

3 Open the [Shutter Increment] submenu.

4 Select [1/3 stop] or [1/4 stop] and then press SET.
