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.

•

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.
