• The bracketed ( ) speeds cannot be selected
when VFR is ON.
NOTE
• In any electronic shutter mode, a slower shutter speed will
reduce camera sensitivity.
• In auto iris mode, a faster shutter speed will increase the
aperture and lower the depth of field.
• Changes in synchro scan and shutter speed settings may
cause screen flicker.
• Under fluorescent lighting and other discharge lighting
systems, horizontal stripes may appear on the screen.
Changing the shutter speed may correct this problem.
• A subject that is captured when moving quickly across the
field of view may appear distorted. This is due to the signal
read out format of the image sensor (MOS sensor) and is not
a malfunction.
• The red, blue and green dots that may appear on the screen
at low shutter speeds do not indicate a malfunction.
