Concerning shooting in fluorescent lighting

When the camcorder is set to [ (Easy Recording) or the Auto recording program, it automatically detects the flicker of fluorescent lighting and adjusts the shutter speed to compensate. However, if the brightness of the LCD or viewfinder display starts to flicker, make sure the camcorder is set to the Auto recording program and select the 1/100 shutter speed.
