Speed ([Speed]): Allows you to set the shutter speed (in fractions of a second).
Angle ([Angle]): You can set the shutter angle to determine the shutter speed.
Clear scan ([Clear Scan]): Set the frequency in order to record CRT computer monitors without displaying black bands or flicker on the screen.
Slow shutter ([Slow]): You can set slower shutter speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting. This mode is not available during slow & fast motion recording mode.
