1 Press the SHUTTER button.

Each time you press the SHUTTER button, the shutter speed switches between normal (OFF) and the speed you selected with the SPEED SELECT button.

2 After you have pressed the SHUTTER button, press SPEED SELECT to select the shutter speed.

The shutter speed changes as follows each time you press SPEED SELECT + (The order is reversed for the SHUTTER SELECT - button.)

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

•If iris is set to auto, then it 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 unit be secured to a tripod, etc. for use.

The current shutter speed appears on the viewfinder and LCD screens unless you have selected OFF in OTHER DISPLAY in the DISPLAY SETUP screen of the setup menus.

It is not displayed if you have set the shutter speed to normal (OFF).

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 camerarecorder’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 as follows.
