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. or 1/12 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.
Tips on Manual
Settings
Available modes:
Tape Camera, Card Camera
When the mode or menu screen is off, press
and hold down the centre of the Operation
button until the screen shown as below
appears. You can set focus, white balance,
iris, gain and shutter speed manually.
Tips on Using the Manual
Shutter Speed
• Fast shutter speeds can be used with
the still recording functions (see pages
40 and 78) 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.
