Tips
You can set a faster shutter speed, and reduce

Gain/ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure
Index) is the sensitivity to light of recording
media that incorporates an image sensor that
receives light. Even when the exposure is the
same, images differ depending on the Gain/ISO
setting.
High Gain/ISO sensitivity
With high Gain/ISO sensitivity, images will
be captured with an appropriate brightness
even under insufficient exposure. However,
increasing Gain/ISO sensitivity will cause
images to become noisy.
Low Gain/ISO sensitivity
You can record smooth images. However, the
shutter speed may slow down to compensate
for low Gain/ISO sensitivity. You should take
camera shake or movement of subjects into
account, too.
AE Shift
You can adjust the exposure manually.
Off
Optimizes exposure automatically.
On (EV and adjusted number)
Allows for further manual adjustment, after
optimum exposure has been determined by
