●

The selected effect will be shown for approx.  2 
seconds before the camcorder returns to the 
menu screen.

NOTES:

●

Shutter Effects cannot be used during “NIGHT”.

●

When a subject is too bright or reflective, a vertical 
streak may appear (smear phenomenon). Smear 
phenomenon tends to occur when “SPORTS” or  
mode of “SHUTTER 1/500 and 1/4000” is 
selected.

PROGRAM AE

OFF

: Disables the function. (Factory-preset)

SPORTS

(Variable Shutter Speed: 1/250 – 1/4000):

This setting allows fast-moving images to be 
captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable 
slow-motion playback. The faster the shutter 
speed, the darker the picture becomes. Use the 
shutter function under good lighting conditions.

SNOW

: Compensates for subjects that may 

otherwise appear too dark when shooting in 
extremely bright surroundings such as in the 
snow.

SPOTLIGHT

: Compensates for subjects 

that may otherwise appear too bright when 
shooting under extremely strong direct lighting 
such as spotlights. 

TWILIGHT

: Makes evening scenes look 

more natural. White Balance (

墌

pg. 31) is 

automatically set to “AUTO”. When Twilight is 
chosen, the camcorder automatically adjusts the 

focus from approx. 10 m to infinity. From less 
than 10 m, adjust the focus manually. 

NIGHT 

: Makes dark subjects or areas even 

brighter than they would be under good natural 
lighting. Although the recorded image is not 
grainy, it may look as if it is strobing due to the 
slow shutter speed.
During Night-Scope, it may be difficult to bring 
the camcorder into focus. To prevent this, use of 
a tripod is recommended.

EFFECT

OFF

: Disables the function. (Factory-preset)

SEPIA

: Recorded scenes have a brownish 

tint like old photos.

MONOTONE

: Like classic black and white 

films, your footage is shot in B/W.

CLASSIC 

: Gives recorded scenes a strobe 

effect.

STROBE

: Your recording looks like a series 

of consecutive snapshots.

MIRROR :

 Creates a mirror image on the 

left half of the screen, juxtaposed to the normal 
image on the other half.

SHUTTER

OFF

: Disables the function. (Factory-preset)

SHUTTER 1/50

: The shutter speed is fixed 

at 1/50th of a second. Black bands that usually 
appear when shooting a TV screen become 
narrower.

SHUTTER 1/120

: The shutter speed is 

fixed at 1/120th of a second. The flickering that 
occurs when shooting under a fluorescent light 
or mercury-vapour lamp is reduced.

SHUTTER 1/500 / SHUTTER 1/4000

:
