Adjusting the brightness (continued)
3
Turn the SEL/SET dial F to
adjust the shutter speed.
The following shutter speed adjustment
ranges are available:
When [60i] is selected:
1/8 to 1/10000
(1/6 to 1/10000 when shooting with
24p)
When [50i] is selected: 1/6 to 1/10000
The denominator of the set shutter speed
appears on the LCD screen. For
example, [100] appears on the LCD
screen when you set the shutter speed to
1/100 second. The larger the value on
the LCD screen is, the faster the shutter
speed is.

Press the SEL/SET dial F to
apply the shutter speed.
To readjust the shutter speed, repeat the
procedure from step 2.
z Tips
• Can be operated using Direct Menu (p. 54).
• It is difficult to focus automatically at a lower
shutter speed. Manual focusing with your
camcorder attached to a tripod is recommended.
• When recording under fluorescent lamps,
sodium lamps, or mercury lamps, the picture
may flicker or change colors, or may have
horizontal bands of noise.
You may be able to improve the situation by
adjusting the shutter speed to 1/50 if the power
frequency of your area is 50 Hz, or 1/60 in a 60
Hz area.
• You can switch the shutter speed display
between seconds and degrees ([SHUTTER
DISPLAY], page 134).
To adjust automatically
Press the SHUTTER button H twice.
The shutter speed value disappears, or
appears next to the shutter speed value.
