PROGRAM AUTO EXPOSURE
These modes are designed for everyday shooting situations and for special
circumstances. They include:
TV Mode
"TV" stands for Time Value; in this mode the XL H1 automatically sets the lens aperture for a proper
exposure based on the shutter speed that has been selected.
AV Mode
"AV" stands for Aperture Value; in this mode the XL H1 automatically sets the shutter speed
necessary for proper exposure when the aperture has been selected.
Manual Mode
This mode provides control of both the shutter speed and aperture, giving the user a viewfinder
display of both selections, as well as a bar and pointer display of how the chosen combination
handles the light levels as metered by the XL H1.
Spotlight Mode
This mode delivers the proper exposure in situations where the subject in the center of the frame is
brightly lit, but the background is dark.

Night Mode

Designed for situations in which light levels fall, this mode automatically selects lower shutter speeds
to deliver a proper exposure, down to 1/4 or 1/3 second, depending on the frame rate.
Easy Recording (Green Mode)
A "point-and-shoot" mode automatically controls and locks shutter and aperture, focus, gain, and
white balance settings.

Auto Mode

Similar to Easy Recording Mode, Auto Mode allows for manually changing shutter and aperture,
focus, gain, and white balance settings.
AE Shift
When in Auto, TV, or AV Modes, engaging AE Shift enables the user to make adjustments in the base
setting for the camcorder's AE programs.
AE Lock
This holds exposure to a particular setting, preventing unplanned exposure changes with a
moving subject.
