The procedure is the same as steps 3 and 4 for “Autoexposure Shooting” (p.218).

Changing the shutter speed during movie shooting is not recommended since the changes in the exposure will be recorded.

When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec. to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less smooth the subject’s movement will look.

If you change the shutter speed while shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting, image flicker may be recorded.
