Tips on Using the Manual Shutter Speed

•Fast shutter speeds can be used with the still recording functions (see pages 35, 36 and 67) to record higher quality still images of fast-moving subjects.

•If the on-screen picture flickers when recording under fluorescent lighting, you may be able to compensate by setting the shutter speed to 1/120 sec.

Notes:

•Recording with a shutter speed faster than 1/50 sec. tends to darken the picture. Record in bright locations when you use a fast shutter speed.

•Using a fast shutter speed under fluorescent lighting will cause flickering in the picture and possibly periodic colour shifts.

•When selecting 1/25 sec. shutter speed, you may get a shadow image behind a subject that is moving around a lot.

•The manual shutter speed setting will cancel if a scene setting is selected or gain-up function is used thereafter.
