NOTES

•When setting a numeric value (aperture or shutter speed), the number display will flash if the aperture or shutter speed is not appropriate for the recording

conditions. In such case, select a different value.

•Do not move the mode switch to AUTO during the actual recording of a scene; the brightness of the picture may change abruptly.

•[ SHUTTER-PRIO.AE]

-If you use a slow shutter speed in dark places, you can obtain a brighter image, but the image quality may be lower, and the autofocus may not work well.

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

-Recording movies under fluorescent lights: If the screen starts to flicker, select

[ SHUTTER-PRIO.AE] and set the shutter speed to 1/100.

•[ APERTURE-PRIO.AE]

The actual range of values available for selection will vary depending on the initial zoom position.
