2 Adjust settings using the cursor button up or down and press the button in the centre.

SHTR : Shutter speed: 1/50 to 1/8000

The shutter speed closer to 1/8000 is faster.

The shutter speed will be set between 1/2 and 1/2000 in still picture recording mode.

IRIS : Iris/Gain value:

CLOSE !# (F16 to F2.0) !# OPEN !# (0dB to 18dB)

Value closer to [CLOSE] darken the image.

Value closer to [18dB] brighten the image.

When the iris value is adjusted to brighter than [OPEN], it changes to the gain value.

To return to auto setting, set the iA/ MANUAL/FOCUS switch to intelligent auto mode.

When setting both the shutter speed and the iris/gain value, set the shutter speed and then set the iris/gain value.

Manual shutter speed adjustment

When the shutter speed is set lower than 1/12 in the still picture recording mode, it is recommended using a tripod. Also, white balance cannot be set. The shutter speed will be set to 1/25 when the unit is turned on again.

You may see a band of light around the object that is shining very bright, or having very high reflection.

During normal playback, image movement may not look smooth.

If you record an extremely bright object or record under indoor lighting, colour and screen brightness may change or a horizontal line may appear on the screen. In this case, record in the intelligent auto mode or set the shutter speed to 1/100 in areas where the power supply frequency is 50 Hz, or 1/125 in areas of 60 Hz.

Manual iris/gain adjustment

Luminance level and histogram are displayed during the iris adjustment. (l 57, 58)

If the gain value is increased, the noise on the screen increases.

Depending on the zoom magnification, there are iris values that are not displayed.
