Notes:

You are unable to set the shutter speed in any recording program other than AUTO.

The image may not appear smooth when a high shutter speed is set.

The camcorder returns to the auto shutter setting when you slide the program selector to [ (Easy Recording), or change the recording program.

If you set the shutter speed to 1/500 or above in TAPE CAMERA mode and then switch the camcorder to CARD CAMERA mode, the shutter speed will automatically change to 1/250.
