– In infrared shooting
– Shutter speed slower than 1/30 sec. (frame frequency at 59.94/29.97 Hz), 1/25 sec. (at 50.00/25.00 Hz), or 1/24
sec. (at 23.98 Hz).

Manual Focus
In Manual Focus, the focus position is moved manually.
By clicking on the video display area, the focus is once automatically adjusted to the position of the mouse pointer that was
clicked, and then returns to manual focus.
Note
• If a zoom operation is performed after focusing, the focus may shift.
• If the camera is left turned on, the focus may shift due to increase of the temperature of the lens and inside the camera body. Check the
focus again before shooting.
