Press the SHUTTER button.
Each time you press the SHUTTER button, the
shutter speed switches between normal (OFF)
and the speed you selected with the SPEED
SELECT button.

After you have pressed the SHUTTER
button, press SPEED SELECT to select the
shutter speed.
The shutter speed changes as follows each
time you press SPEED SELECT + (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 screens 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
camerarecorder'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.
