●
About aperture value
• To record motion pictures with a sharp focus on both subject and background, set the aperture
value to a higher number. To record motion pictures with a defocused background, set a lower
number.
●
About the shutter speed
• To record a sharp motion picture of a fast-moving subject, set a faster shutter speed. To record
a motion picture with a trailing effect for a subject’s movements, set a slower shutter speed.
• When you manually set a faster shutter speed, the screen noise may increase due to the higher
sensitivity.
• When you record a subject in an extremely bright place or under fluorescent or LED lighting
fixtures, etc., the colours and screen brightness may change or horizontal striping may appear
on the screen. If this happens, we recommend changing the Recording mode or manually
adjusting the shutter speed to 1/60 seconds or 1/100 seconds.
