Tips on Using the Manual
Shutter Speed
• Fast shutter speeds can be used with
the still recording functions (see page
35) to record higher quality still images
of fast-moving subjects.
• If the on-screen picture flickers when
recording under fluorescent lighting,
you may be able to compensate by
setting the shutter speed to 1/120 sec.
Notes:
• Recording with a shutter speed faster than
1/50 sec. tends to darken the picture. Record
in bright locations when you use a fast shutter
speed.
• Using a fast shutter speed under fluorescent
lighting will cause flickering in the picture and
possibly periodic colour shifts.
• When selecting 1/25 sec. or 1/12 sec. shutter
speed, you may get a shadow image behind
a subject that is moving around a lot.
• The Manual Shutter Speed setting cannot
be used when a scene setting is selected
or the e indicator appears.
• The shutter speed will be set to AUTO
when selecting "ON e" in gain-up
function.
