Which shutter speed?
Select the shutter speed which suits the speed and
brightness of the subject:
1/120 second
To reduce the exposure level when shooting very
bright scenes, or to give more stable pictures when
shooting indoor sports.
1/2000 to 1/10000 second
To record outdoor sports on a clear day so that you
can freeze the action clearly. Normal playback will
be slightly jumpy, but on a VCR with a noise-free
still playback function, you will get clear images
which can be analysed frame by frame.
