You can select the shutter speed from 16 speeds between 1/60 and 1/10000. When you select a faster shutter
speed, movement appears clearer with less shaking when the tape is played back in still or slow mode. The
aperture value is automatically adjusted according to the selected shutter speed to maintain appropriate
exposure (between F1.6 and F11). This mode is most effective in the following cases:
e A golf swing or a tennis match in fine weather with the ball movement captured clearly.
© Playing back certain scenes with high-speed movements in clear, sharp pictures.

Shutter speed indicator in the viewfinder
For example, the 1/100 shutter speed is displayed as "100" in the viewfinder.
Note on selection of the shutter speed
A flashing ® indicator in the viewfinder indicates insufficient or excessive lighting condition for the shutter
priority mode. Although it is possible to record when this happens, we recommend resetting the shutter speed
with the CONTROL dial.
Shoot at the shutter speed of 1/250 or faster
We recommend shooting in sunlight or using a video light.
Note
When shooting a very bright subject, a vertical band (smear) may appear on the screen if the shutter speed ts
set too high.
