After you have pressed the SHUTTER
button, press SPEED SELECT buttons to
select the shutter speed.
The shutter speed changes as follows each
time you press SPEED SELECT + button (The
order is reversed for the SHUTTER SELECT
- button.)
• Remember that the faster the shutter speed,
the lower the sensitivity.
• If iris is set to auto, then it will open wider
with higher shutter speeds and thereby
reduce focal depth.
• 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 current shutter speed appears on the
viewfinder and LCD monitor unless you have
selected OFF in OTHER DISPLAY in the
DISPLAY SETUP screen of the setup menus. It is
not displayed if you have set the shutter speed to
normal (OFF).
• With artificial lighting and especially fluorescent
lights and mercury-vapor lamps, the luminance
changes in synchronization with the power line
frequency. When this frequency is 50 Hz, mutual
interference will occur between the camera-
recorder's vertical sync frequency (approx.
60 Hz) and the lighting frequency (50 Hz). This
means that the white balance may change
periodically.
Before shooting in areas with artificial lighting
or adjusting the white balance, set the shutter
speed as follows.
