Manual shutter speed adjustment
≥ When the shutter speed is set lower than 1/15

when the quick start is performed.
≥ If you increase the shutter speed manually, the
noise on the screen may increase.

that is shining very bright, or highly reflective.
≥ During normal playback, image movement
may not look smooth.
≥ If you record an extremely bright object or
record under indoor lighting, color and screen
brightness may change or a horizontal line
may appear on the screen. In this case, record
in Auto Mode or set the shutter speed to 1/60
in areas where the power supply frequency is
60 Hz, or 1/100 in areas of 50 Hz.
