Sony DCR-TRV950 Network Function Operating Instructions Manual page 71

Shooting with manual adjustment
When the shutter speed is fast
When shooting a bright subject, vertical lines may appear on the image, but this is not
a malfunction. In such cases, set the shutter speed a little slower.
When shooting at slow shutter speed
At slow shutter speed, automatic focus may be lost. Use a tripod and adjust the focus
manually.
When recording under a discharge tube such as a fluorescent lamp, sodium lamp
or mercury lamp
Flickering phenomenon which lights up or dims the screen, or the color change may
occur depending on the shutter speed.
When the POWER switch is set to MEMORY/NETWORK (DCR-TRV950 only)
Shutter speeds available in the MEMORY/NETWORK (DCR-TRV950 only) mode are
different from those in the CAMERA mode.
Even if you set the shutter speed faster than 1/500 or slower than 1/60 while the
POWER switch is set to CAMERA, the shutter speed setting is automatically reset to
1/500 or 1/60 respectively if you set the POWER switch to MEMORY/NETWORK
(DCR-TRV950 only). Once you have set the POWER switch to MEMORY/NETWORK
(DCR-TRV950 only) as the operation above, the shutter speed remains at 1/500 or
1/60 even if you set the POWER switch to CAMERA again.
