Exposure Adjustment
At times, backlit subjects may appear too dark (underexposed) or subjects under very strong lights
may appear too bright or glaring (overexposed). In such cases, adjusting the exposure will correct this.
This camcorder features a dedicated recording program, [n Manual Exposure], for adjusting the
exposure manually. However, you can also compensate the exposure when using other recording
programs.
Using the Manual Exposure Recording Program
Using the [n Manual Exposure] recording program, you can adjust the aperture, shutter speed and
gain to achieve the desired exposure.
1 Activate the [n Manual Exposure] recording program.
[FUNC.] > [Rec. Programs] > [n Manual Exposure]
2 Touch the control button of the setting you wish to adjust.
3Touch [Ï] or [Ð] to set the desired value.
You can also drag your finger along the dial.
The exposure will change according to the setting's new value. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to adjust
other settings.
Before touching [X], you can also use the zebra pattern (see below).
4Touch [X].
NOTES
•If you set q > [CUSTOM Dial & Button] to [l Manual Exposure] (A 95), you can adjust the
aperture, shutter speed and gain with the CUSTOM dial and button.
Using the Zebra Pattern
You can use the zebra pattern to identify areas that might be overexposed, so you can correct the
exposure appropriately. The camcorder offers two levels of zebra pattern: With 100% only areas that
will lose detail in the highlight areas will be identified, while 70% will identify also areas that are
dangerously close to losing detail.
