Notes

The larger the number, the higher the noise 

level.

Tips

You can set a faster shutter speed, and reduce 

image blur in dark locations or of moving 

subjects by increasing ISO sensitivity (select a 

larger number).

Gain/ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure 

Index) is the sensitivity to light of recording 

media that incorporates an image sensor that 

receives light. Even when the exposure is the 

same, images differ depending on the Gain/ISO 

setting.

High Gain/ISO sensitivity 

With high Gain/ISO sensitivity, images will 

be captured with an appropriate brightness 

even under insufficient exposure. However, 

increasing Gain/ISO sensitivity will cause 

images to become noisy.

Low Gain/ISO sensitivity 

You can record smooth images. However, the 

shutter speed may slow down to compensate 

for low Gain/ISO sensitivity. You should take 

camera shake or movement of subjects into 

account, too.

AE Shift

You can adjust the exposure manually.

 Off

Optimizes exposure automatically.

On (EV and adjusted number)

Allows for further manual adjustment, after 

optimum exposure has been determined by 

your camcorder.
