•Do not shoot the sun while the shutter speed is set to 1/1000 or slower.

CAUTION • Slow shutter speed exposes the sensor to more lights, which may deteriorate the product.

•The image may not seem smooth when a high shutter speed is setted.

•When recording with a shutter speed of 1/1000 or higher, make sure the sun is not directly shining into the lens.

•Shutter speed 1/100 seconds means the shutter box is opened for 1/100 seconds.

•Faster shutter speed is recommended for shooting a dynamic subject. Note that higher shutter speed produces darker image. As the shutter speed increases, the sensor accepts less light than a slower shutter speed setup.
