speed. When you want to create a trail effect, set to a slower shutter speed.

the image when the subject is recorded in an extremely bright place or under fluorescent
light, mercury light, sodium light, etc. in this case, record in another recording mode or
manually adjust the shutter speed to 1/60 or 1/100.
