1 Each time the SHUTTER button is pressed, the standard (OFF) shutter speed and the shutter speed selected by the SPEED SEL button are selected alternately.

2 After pressing the SHUTTER button, press the SPEED SEL button to select the shutter speed.

Each time the SPEED SEL button is pressed, the shutter speed changes by one setting in the following sequence.

When the progressive mode is OFF (60i)

SYNCHRO

The luminance level of artificial lighting— particularly that of fluorescent lights and mercury lamps—changes in synchronization with the power line frequency. Especially in areas with a power line frequency of 50 Hz, the vertical sync frequency (approx. 60 Hz) of the camera recorder and frequency of the lighting (50 Hz) will interfere with each other, possibly causing the white balance to change cyclically.

When shooting under artificial lighting or when adjusting the white balance, set the shutter speed as shown below.
