shutter function under good lighting conditions.

may otherwise appear too bright when shooting
under extremely strong direct lighting such as
spotlights.

fixed at 1/120th of a second. The flickering that
occurs when shooting under a fluorescent light
or mercury-vapour lamp is reduced.

These
settings allow fast-moving images to be
captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable
slow-motion playback by fixing shutter speed
variables. Use these settings when an automatic
adjustment does not work well, using
SPORTS
mode. The faster the shutter speed, the darker
the picture becomes. Use the shutter function
under good lighting conditions.
