Notes about the Adjusting the Shutter Speed Manually

Range of Shutter Speed Adjustment 1/50–1/8000 s

The standard shutter speed is 1/50 s.

The nearer to [1/8000] a setting you select, the faster the shutter speed becomes.

³The playback picture of subjects lit by strong lights or with much light reflection may contain vertical streaks of light.

³During normal playback, the scene-to-scene transitions may not be smooth.

³Avoid recording under fluorescent lamps, mercury lamps or natrium lamps, as they can cause unstable colours and brightness of the playback picture.

³When using the Gain-up Mode (p. 48) or any of the Programme AE Modes (p. 46), it is not possible to adjust the shutter speed. If the shutter speed was manually adjusted, this setting is cancelled.

³Adjust the shutter speed according to the recording situation.
