-When recording in dark surroundings, you can obtain a brighter picture by using slow shutter speeds; however, image quality may not be as good and autofocus may not work well.

-The image may flicker when recording with fast shutter speeds.

•[C Aperture-Pri. AE]: The actual range of values available for selection will vary depending on the initial zoom position.

•When setting a numeric value (aperture or shutter speed), the number displayed will flash if the aperture value or shutter speed is not appropri- ate for the recording conditions. In such case, select a different value.
