exposure.
Notes
• The (Camera shake warning) indicator is not indicated in shutter speed priority mode.
• If you shoot an image with 1 second or slower shutter speed in still image recording mode, noise
reduction (Long Exposure NR) will be done after shooting. You cannot do any further shooting during
the reduction.
• If proper exposure cannot be obtained after the setup in still image recording mode, when you press the
PHOTO button halfway down, the aperture value blinks. Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is
recommended.
• The brightness of the image on the LCD monitor may differ from the actual image being shot.
• 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 image 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.

Shutter speed

When a faster shutter speed is used, each frame of a moving
subject such as a running person, cars, and sea spray appears as
if they are stopped.
When a slower shutter speed is used, a trailing image of the
movement of the subject is captured to make flowing image.
