Adjusting the gain
If the picture is too dark even with the aperture fully open, and using the slowest
acceptable shutter speed, adjust the gain to make the picture as bright as necessary.
When shooting night scenes in automatic setting, the picture may become dark. To
brighten the picture, the digital camcorder will automatically turn the gain value up,
and picture noise can develop. In this case, adjust the gain in accordance with the
atmosphere of the subject.
(1) Set AUTO LOCK to OFF.
(2) Set AUTO/MANUAL under the GAIN dial to MANUAL.
(3) Turn GAIN to adjust the gain.
Using the dial, you can select –3, 0, 3, 6, 9, or PRESET. The gain indicator appears in
the viewfinder.
If you turn the dial to PRESET (preset gain), the setting you selected in the menu
activates.
