Exposure Viewing
Thanks, Olas. In my struggle to get good video footage, somehow I missed that still camera function! However, shooting in manual is still a cumbersome process on this camera. First you select the manual exposure mode, then you VIEW (not meter) the scene and gauge the degree of under or over exposure of that scene, which then has become static!, by pressing the shutter button halfway, then activate the manual control (by means of a preprogramed shortcut on the toggle knob, for instance) and then toggle the knob to adjust the exposure by reducing or increasing the shutter speed and/or aperture.
This process or my previous one no doubt is needed because of the lack of live viewing function on the HD1000. I don't understand how hard it could have been for Sanyo to have made this aspect of camera handling the same as that on the other consumer cams of the competitors.
Just a simple auto exposure lock when in the video mode would have solved the problem.
