Manual shutter speed adjustment

≥Avoid recording under fluorescent light, mercury light or sodium light because the color and brightness of the playback image may change.

≥If you increase the shutter speed manually, the sensitivity lowers and accordingly the gain value increases automatically, which may increase the noise on the screen.

≥You may see vertical lines of light in the playback image of a brightly shining subject or highly reflective subject, but this is not a malfunction.
