SHUTTER
1/60–The shutter speed is fixed at 1/60th of a
second. Black bands that usually appear when
shooting a TV screen become narrower.
1/100–The shutter speed is fixed at 1/100th of a
second. The flickering that occurs when shooting
under a fluorescent light or mercury-vapor lamp is
reduced.
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 (pg. 39) is initially set to ,
but can be changed to your desired setting. When
Twilight is chosen, the camcorder automatically
adjusts the focus from approx. 10 m (32 ft) to
infinity. From less than 10 m (32 ft), adjust the
focus manually.
SEPIA*1
Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old
photos. Combine this with the 16:9LB mode for a
classic look.
MONOTONE*1
Like black and white films, your footage is shot in
B/W. Used together with the 16:9LB mode, it
enhances the “classic film” effect.
*1Not available when “CAMERA MODE” is set to
“DUAL” in the Menu Screen ( pg. 28, 29).
*2Available when “CAMERA MODE” is set to
“VIDEO” or “PS-VIDEO”.
*3Available when “CAMERA MODE” is set to
“VIDEO”.
*4With images shot in the UXGA mode, the
shutter speed is applicable only up to 1/500
(pg. 16).
CLASSIC FILM*2
Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.
STROBE*2
Your recording looks like a series of consecutive
snapshots.
SLOW (Slow Shutter)*1
Lights dark subjects or areas even brighter than
they would be under good natural lighting. Use
“SLOW” only in dark areas.
SLOW 1
Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity to allow
shooting in dark environments.
SLOW 2
Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity further to allow
shooting in even darker environments.
NOTES:
●When using “SLOW”, the image takes on a strobe-
like effect.
●If the manual focus indicator blinks when “SLOW”
is used, adjust focus manually and use a tripod.
VIDEO ECHO*3
Adds a “ghost” to the subject, giving your
recording a “fantasy” feeling. Zoom magnification
of over 10X is not available.

such as at the beach or when skiing.
•When shooting objects under a spotlight.
•When zooming.
When the subject is close, keep the iris locked. Even

lit environments to keep too much light from
entering, and dilates in dim environments to allow in
more light.

White Balance Adjustment
A term that refers to the correctness of color
reproduction under various lighting. If the white
balance is correct, all other colors will be accurately

To Change The Tint For Recording . . .
.... in step 2, substitute colored paper for white. The
white balance is adjusted based on the color,
changing the tint. Red paper = deeper green;
blue paper = orange; yellow paper = deeper
purple.
NOTES:
●In step 2, it may be difficult to focus on the white
paper. In such a case, adjust focus manually
(pg. 27).
●A subject can be shot under various types of
lighting conditions indoors (natural, flourescent,
candlelight, etc.). Because the color temperature is
different depending on the light sour ce, the subject
tint will differ depending on the white balance
settings. Use this function for a more natural result.
●Once you adjust white balance manually, the
setting is retained even if the power is turned off or
the battery removed.

100-DVC00003: Directory and File names
Shows that the selected shot is in a directory called “100”
and its file name is “DVC00003”.
Each time shooting takes place, a file name is made using
a number which is larger by one than the largest number
of the file names which are in use. If the file name reaches

10 images are stored (index number: 001 to 010), if three
images with index numbers 002, 004 and 006 are deleted
from memory, the remaining images are automatically
moved up to fill any gaps in the numerical sequence.
Therefore, the number of remaining images is 7, and the
