Exposure Compensation
When you use a recording program other than [n Manual Exposure], the camcorder will adjust the
exposure automatically. However, you can compensate and lock the exposure or use the Touch AE
function to automatically set the optimal exposure for the subject you select. This is convenient when
the brightness of the subject you want to shoot is noticeably brighter/darker than the general
brightness of the image.
POINTS TO CHECK
• Select a recording program other than [Š Fireworks] or [n Manual Exposure].
1 Open the exposure adjustment screen.
[FUNC.] > [y Exposure]
2 Touch a subject that appears inside the y frame.
• The Touch AE mark (I) will flash and the exposure will be adjusted automatically so the area you
touched will be correctly exposed. You have the option to further adjust the exposure manually as
necessary. Depending on the subject, you may want to use the [Highlights] setting as described
below.
• You can touch [n] instead to compensate the exposure without activating the Touch AE
function.
• The manual adjustment dial appears and the adjustment value is set at ±0.
•Touch [n] again to return the camcorder to automatic exposure.
3Touch [Ï] or [Ð] or drag your finger along the dial to set the exposure compensation
value.
• The adjustment range may vary depending on the initial brightness of the image, and some
values may be grayed out.
• Before touching [X], you can also use the zebra pattern (A 65).
4Touch [X] to lock the exposure at the selected value.
• During exposure lock, y and the selected exposure compensation value will appear on the
