Notes:

¥If the shutter speed is increased, the sensitivity is decreased according to the speed. Flicker may occur under discharge lamp lighting such as ßuorescent tubes.

¥If a fast-moving object is shot, its image may be distorted or blurred. Horizontal light-and-dark stripes may appear on the screen under discharge lamp lighting such as ßuorescent tubes. A light and dark difference may appear on the screen according to the light emitting timing of ßash or strobe. These phenomena are caused due to rolling shutter system, not failures.

¥When the shutter speed is set to high, the hue may change according to the shooting conditions and the object.
