the lower the sensitivity.
• Focusing on the subject would take longer if
the shutter speed is reduced. It is therefore
recommended that the unit be secured to a
tripod, etc. during shooting.
• Under the lighting of electric discharge tubes
such as fluorescent lamps, horizontal bands
may appear on the screen. Adjusting the
shutter speed may improve this condition.
• A subject that quickly crosses the camera may
appear distorted when shot. This is caused due
to the signal reading system of the imaging
element (MOS sensor), and is not a defect.
• At slow shutter speeds (1/2 to 1/15), white,
red, green, or blue dots may appear on the
screen. However, this is not a defect.
