

The camcorder automatically adjusts the

aperture and shutter speed to obtain the optimal exposure for

the subject.

[ Shutter-Priority AE] Set the shutter speed value. The cam-

corder automatically sets the appropriate aperture value. Use

faster shutter speeds to record subjects moving quickly; use

slower shutter speeds to add motion blur, emphasizing the feel of

movement.

[ Aperture-Priority AE] Set the aperture value. The camcorder

automatically sets the appropriate shutter speed. Use low aper-

ture values (larger lens opening) to softly blur the background in a

portrait; use high aperture values (smaller lens opening) to get a

wider depth of field, giving a sharp focus all throughout a land-

scape.
