The shutter speed changes when you lock and change the exposure.

When the gain is set to automatic, the shutter speed number flashes on the screen if the selected shutter speed is not suitable for the recording conditions. In such case, readjust the shutter speed. If you are using an ND filter, turn it off first and readjust the shutter speed.

The image quality may decrease to some extent when using slow shutter speeds.

Autofocus may not work when using slow shutter speeds.

When recording under artificial light sources such as fluorescent, mercury or halogen lamps, the screen may flicker depending on the shutter speed. To avoid the flicker, set the shutter speed to 1/100.
