Shutter Speed

NOTES

• Closing down the aperture when recording under bright conditions may cause the picture to appear soft or out of focus. To avoid the loss of sharpness due to diffraction, use a faster shutter speed, a denser ND filter

56(A59) or open up the aperture.

•When the shutter mode is set to [Slow], bright red, green or blue dots may appear on the screen. In such case, use a faster shutter speed or select a lower ISO speed or gain value (A57).

•Even when using the [C7: EOS Std.] preset custom picture file, if you set the camcorder to a certain shutter speed, you may not get the exactly the same image brightness as you would on an EOS digital SLR camera set to the same shutter speed.

•When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camcorder, you can change the shutter mode with the remote controller's SHUTTER SELECT button.

Flicker Reduction

You can perform the following procedure to have the camcorder automatically detect and reduce flicker.

1 Open the [Flicker Reduction] submenu.

•When recording under artificial light sources such as fluorescent, mercury or halogen lamps, the screen may flicker depending on the shutter speed. You may be able to avoid flicker by setting the shutter mode to [Speed] and the shutter speed to a value matching the frequency of the local electrical system: 1/50* or 1/100

for 50 Hz systems, 1/60 or 1/120 for 60 Hz systems.

* May not be available depending on the frame rate.
