Thanks, that explains it perfectly:The shutter speed is fixed at 1/60 sec (NTSC) when auto shutter is off in menu (in full auto mode). |
Dale said, "A little trick that I taught myself - it is possible to fix both the aperture and shutter speed manually without using AE. Camera in 'Manual' mode, set aperture first manually and then shutter speed manually."
Just to point out that you can't do this on the VX/PD. In the manual mode you *must* select and set a shutter speed first, and only then can you choose to set an aperture (or you can leave the aperture and gain in auto of course). tom. |
Thanks Tom,
You are probably right - I think I got the order mixed up but I do know that it is possible. You have to be careful doing this i.e. you have to monitor your zebra patterns etc. constantly and use the ND filters if necessary - I know because I managed to overexpose my VX on more than one occasion and the only way to recover was to reset the camera!!! Works great in low light situations though. Regards, Dale. |
probably right?? :-)

OK, OK - definitely right (although I will be blowing the dust off my VX tomorrow to complete a promo for Sony - my own project - and will check) :)!
Regards, Dale. |
