switch to CARD CAMERA mode, it automatically changes to 1/500.

set to Easy Recording, Auto, Night or Super Night mode, it automatically
detects the flicker of fluorescent lighting and adjusts the shutter speed
accordingly. However, if the brightness of the screen starts to flicker, select Tv
mode and set the shutter speed to 1/100.
