so we recommend it when you wish to leave the settings to the camera and record
without thinking about them.
NOTICE: [iA] is set if none of the scene are applicable, and the standard settings are set.
INTELLIGENT AUTO PLUS MODE: Allows you to adjust the brightness and color hue
when in Intelligent Auto Mode.
PROGRAM AE MODE: The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and the
aperture value according to the brightness of the subject.
You can take picture with greater freedom by changing various settings in the Menu Settings.
CAUTION: The Aperture and Shutter Speed cannot be adjusted separately under P
mode; it can only be controlled through the Union Picker.
APERTURE-PRIORITY AE MODE: The shutter speed is automatically determined
by the aperture value you set.
SHUTTER-PRIORITY AE MODE: The aperture value is automatically determined
by the shutter speed you set.
MANUAL EXPOSURE MODE: The exposure is adjusted by the aperture value and
the shutter speed which are manually adjusted
PROGRAM AE MODE: Records at the aperture value and shutter speed set by
the camera. The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and the aperture
value according to the brightness of the subject during video-recording.
You can take picture with greater freedom by changing various settings in the

ADJUSTING THE WHITE BALANCE
In sunlight, under incandescent lights or in other such conditions where the color of white
takes on a reddish or bluish tinge, this item adjusts to the color of white which is closest to
what is seen by the eye in accordance with light source.
SETTING THE LIGHT SENSITIVITY
This allows the sensitivity to light (ISO sensitivity) to be set.
Setting to a higher figure enables pictures to be taken even in
dark places without the resulting pictures coming out.
COMPENSATING THE EXPOSURE
Exposure Value (EV) is a number that represents a combination of camera’s shutter speed and
f-number.Use this function when you cannot achieve appropriate exposure due to the difference in
brightness between the subject and the background.
SPECIFYING THE APERTURE/ SHUTTER SPEED
NOTICE: The effect of the set aperture value and shutter speed
will not be visible on the recording screen.
NOTE：If the photographer wants to highlight the background,
set a relatively high aperture value; if the photographer wants a

GiMBAL CONTROL ON PROACTION
There are two modes to control the Gimbal through ProAction: Follow Mode and Global Mode.
Switch on the ProAction on a flat and stable surface. Do not move, sway or shake the ProAc-
tion during initialization. After initialization, the gimbal will boot up normally in either Follow
or Global Mode, depending on user settings on the left-hand switches of the ProAction.
Once the gimbal is on, it begins an automatic self-check by rotating about the yaw axis. At
this time, the power indicator will be on as well. At the same time the control status LED will
blink green and blue alternately.
When the self-check (start-up) process is complete, the Control Status LED will grow solid
blue. The user can switch freely between Follow Mode and Global Mode without powering
off the gimbal.
FOLLOW MODE
In Follow Mode, the camera lens moves in the direction of ProAction. The user can only
manipulate the pitch direction through Gimbal Control Stick on the right.
If the Gimbal Control Stick moves upward, the camera lens will trim itself up. If the Gimbal
Control Stick moves downward, the camera lens will trim itself down.
NOTICE: In Follow Mode, the camera lens will move in the direction of the Gimbal. At this
time, the Gimbal will take control of itself in the Yaw direction and the user can only control
the Gimbal in the Pitch direction.
NOTICE: The Yaw Axis inside the Gimbal will rotate in the direction of ProAction Frame. Any
manipulation in the Yaw direction is invalid, in other words, the user can only control the Pitch
direction.
GLOBAL MODE
In Global Mode, the camera lens sticks to a fixed direction instead of following the movement
of the ProAction Frame. The user can control the Yaw and Pitch Direction through Gimbal
Control Stick.
If the Gimbal Control Stick moves upward, the camera lens will trim itself up. If the Gimbal
Control Stick moves downward, the camera lens will trim itself down. If the Gimbal Control
Stick turns right, the camera lens will trim itself to the right. If the Gimbal Control Stick turns
left, the camera lens will trim itself to the left.
