•Remember that the faster the shutter speed, the lower the sensitivity.

•If [IRIS] → [AUTO2] in the [CAMERA SETUP] setup menu is selected, the aperture will open wider with higher shutter speeds and thereby reduce focal depth.

•It will take longer to focus when the shutter speed has been reduced, so it is recommended that the camera head be secured to a tripod, etc. for use.

•When [OTHER DISPLAY] → [ON] in the [DISPLAY SETUP] setup menu is selected, the currently set shutter speed is displayed on the LCD monitor screen.

•With artificial lighting and especially fluorescent lights and mercury-vapor lamps, the luminance changes in synchronization with the power line frequency. When this frequency is 50 Hz, mutual interference will occur between the portable recorder’s vertical sync frequency (approx. 60 Hz) and the lighting frequency (50 Hz). This means that the white balance may change periodically. Before shooting in areas with artificial lighting or adjusting the white balance, set the shutter speed with reference to the following tables.
