Manual shutter speed adjustment
$Avoid recording under fluorescent light, mercury
light or sodium light because the colour and
brightness of the playback image may change.
$If you increase the shutter speed manually, the
sensitivity lowers and accordingly the gain value
increases automatically, which may increase
the noises on the screen.
$You may see vertical lines of light in the
playback image of a brightly shining subject or
highly reflective subject, but this is not a
malfunction.
$During normal playback, image movement may
not look smooth.
$When recording in the extremely bright place,
the colour of the screen may change or flickers.
If so adjust the shutter speed manually to 1/50
or 1/100.
