Synchro scan

Set the shutter speed of the synchro scan (used when shooting a television or computer monitor) in [SYNCRO SCAN] in the [CAMERA SETUP] setup menu. (Page 82)

Adjust the shutter speed to match the frequency of the television or computer monitor to minimize the horizontal noise that appears when shooting such subjects.

By switching to progressive mode you can also shoot PAL system television screens.

If a [SYNCRO SCAN] selection item is grayed out, it cannot be used with the current recording format. This function will only operate with the preset values for each recording format.

The preset values for the recording formats are as follows.
