Use For

Stationary or slow moving subjects. The black bands that usually appear when shooting a TV screen become narrower.

Indoor sports such as basketball. The flickering that occurs when shooting under a florescent light or mercury-vapour lamp is reduced.

Moving cars, trains, or other rapidly moving vehicles such as roller coasters.

Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might cause your camcorder to malfunction. Take images of the sun only in low light conditions, such as at dusk.

•The image may not seem smooth when you select a high shutter speed.

•We recommmend higher shutter speeds for shooting a fast moving subjects. Note that higher shutter speeds produce a darker image. As the shutter speed increases, the sensor receives less light.
