Manual shutter speed adjustment
≥ If you increase the shutter speed manually, the
noise on the screen may increase.
≥ You may see a band of light around the object
that is shining very bright, or having very high
reflection.
≥ During normal playback, image movement
may not look smooth.
≥ If you record an extremely bright object or
record under indoor lighting, colour and screen
brightness may change or a horizontal line
may appear on the screen. In this case, record
in auto mode or set the shutter speed to 1/100
in areas where the power supply frequency is
50 Hz, or 1/125 in areas of 60 Hz.

are iris values that are not displayed.
