Tips on Using the Manual
Shutter Speed
• Fast shutter speeds can be used with the still
recording functions (see pages 32 and 65) to
record higher quality still images of fast-
moving subjects.
• If the on-screen picture flickers when
recording under fluorescent lighting, you may
be able to compensate by setting the shutter
speed to 1/120 sec.

Notes:
• Recording with a shutter speed faster than 1/50
sec. tends to darken the picture. Record in
bright locations when you use a fast shutter
speed.
• Using a fast shutter speed under fluorescent
lighting will cause flickering in the picture and
possibly periodic colour shifts.
• When selecting 1/25 sec. shutter speed, you
may get a shadow image behind a subject that
is moving around a lot.
•
The Manual Shutter Speed setting cannot be
used when a scene setting is selected or the
e
indicator appears.
•
The shutter speed will be set to AUTO when
selecting “ON
e
” in gain-up function.
