•[ Fireworks]:

- To avoid camcorder blur (blur due to the camcorder moving) we

recommend using a tripod.

- In mode, slower shutter speeds are used so blur is more likely to

occur. Stabilize the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a

tripod.

Changing the Shutter Speed and Aperture

Select the [ Programmed AE] recording program to use functions like

the white balance or image effects. Select one of the other automatic

exposure recording programs to control the shutter speed or aperture.

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.
