NOTE

In any electronic shutter mode, a slower shutter speed will reduce camera sensitivity.

In auto iris mode, a faster shutter speed will increase the aperture and lower the depth of field.

Changes in synchro scan and shutter speed settings may cause screen flicker.

Under fluorescent lighting and other discharge lighting systems, horizontal stripes may appear on the screen. Changing the shutter speed may correct this problem.

A subject that is captured when moving quickly across the field of view may appear distorted. This is due to the signal read out format of the image sensor (MOS sensor) and is not a malfunction.

The red, blue and green dots that may appear on the screen at low shutter speeds do not indicate a malfunction.
