≥If [DIGITAL CINEMA] is set to [ON], the shutter speed will be set between 1/48 and 1/8000. (When [AUTO SLOW SHTR (2D)] is set to [ON], the range is 1/24 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 F1.7) !# OPEN !# (0dB to 18dB)
≥Value closer to [CLOSE] darkens the image.
≥Value closer to [18dB] brightens the image.

≥To return to auto setting, press the iA/MANUAL button again.
≥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 1/15 in the Still Picture Recording Mode, using a tripod is recommended. Also, white balance cannot be set. The shutter speed will be set to 1/30 when the unit is turned on again or when the Quick start is performed.
≥You may see a band of light around an object that is shining very bright, or highly reflective.
≥During normal playback, image movement may not look smooth.
≥If you record an extremely bright object or record under indoor lighting, color 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 1/60 in areas where the power supply frequency is 60 Hz, or 1/100 in areas of 50 Hz.
Manual iris/gain adjustment
≥Luminance level and histogram are displayed during the iris adjustment. (l 80, 81)
≥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.
