• The Shutter Speed Indication appears.
To Resume Automatic Adjustment
Set the [AUTO/MANUAL/FOCUS] Switch to
[AUTO].
Notes:
• 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.
• Avoid recording under fluorescent light, mercury
light or sodium light because the color and
brightness of the playback image may change.
• When recording in the extremely bright place, the
color of the screen may change or flickers. If so
adjust the shutter speed manually to 1/60 or 1/100.
• If you are using MagicPix Mode (p. 40) or Scene
Mode (p. 42), you cannot adjust the shutter speed.
Range of Shutter Speed Adjustment
1/60–1/8000 s in Tape Recording Mode
1/60–1/500 s in Card Recording Mode
The standard shutter speed is 1/60 s when the EIS
is OFF.
Selecting a speed closer to [1/8000] causes the
shutter speed to be faster.
