Do not point the camcorder directly at the sun when the shutter speed is set to 1/1000 or higher.

The picture may flicker when recording with

high shutter speeds.

Recording movies under fluorescent lights: In mode and when the recording program is

set to [ PROGRAM AE] or [ NIGHT] (), the camcorder automatically detects the flicker of fluorescent lighting and adjusts the shutter speed accordingly. However, if the screen starts to flicker, select [ SHUTTER-PRIO.AE] and set the shutter speed to 1/100.

Aperture-Priority AE
