Model shown: DC-GH5

About Aperture Value

• To record motion pictures with a sharp focus on both subject and background, set the aperture value to a higher number. To record motion pictures with a de-focused background, set a lower number.

 

About Shutter Speed

• To record a sharp motion picture of a fast-moving subject, set a faster shutter speed. To record a motion picture with a trailing effect for a subject’s movements, set a slower shutter speed.
• When you manually set a faster shutter speed, the screen noise may increase due to the higher sensitivity.
• When you record a subject in an extremely bright place or under fluorescent or LED lighting fixtures, etc., the colors and screen brightness may change or horizontal striping may appear on the screen. If this happens, we recommend changing the Recording mode or manually adjusting the shutter speed to 1/60 seconds or 1/100 seconds.
• Drive mode settings are disabled.
• For Model DC-ZS100:
  • When [Exposure Mode] is set to [M], [AUTO] of the ISO sensitivity will switch to [125].
• For Model DC-ZS60:
  • When [Exposure Mode] is set to [M], [AUTO] of the ISO sensitivity will switch to [80].
• For Model DC-FZ300:
  • When [Exposure Mode] is set to [M], [AUTO] of the ISO sensitivity will switch to [100].
