(Page 50)
• Remember that the faster the shutter speed,
the lower the sensitivity.
• It will take longer to focus when the shutter
speed has been reduced so it is recommended
that the unit be secured to a tripod, etc. for
use.
• The screen may be distorted when changing
the SYNCHRO SCAN or SHUTTER setting.
• 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 (1/6 to
1/15) do not indicate a malfunction.
Shutter speed is set using the SHTR/F.RATE dial
and DIAL SEL button.
As well as the shutter speed, you can use the
SHTR/F.RATE dial to select settings for synchro
scan and frame rate.
