tripod is recommended. Also, white balance cannot be set. The shutter speed will be set to
1/30 when the unit is turned on again or when the Quick start is performed.
≥ You may see a band of light around an object that is shining very bright, or highly reflective.

≥ If you record an extremely bright object or record under indoor lighting, color and screen
brightness may change or a horizontal line may appear on the screen. In this case, record
in the Intelligent Auto Mode or set the shutter speed to 1/60 in areas where the power
