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. shutter speed, you
may get a shadow image behind a subject that
is moving around a lot.
• The manual shutter speed setting will cancel
if a scene setting is selected or gain-up
function is used thereafter.
Recommended Shutter Speeds
The faster the shutter speed, the darker the
picture becomes. Select the most appropriate
shutter speed for the ambient light.
Situation Situation
• Recording sports action in
bright daylight.
• Recording in bright daylight
at a ski resort.
• Recording outdoor sports
on a partially cloudy day.
• Recording an outside
scene through a car
window (when you want to
minimize blur caused by
the camera shaking).
• When you want to reduce
the light by half. Use as a
substitute for an ND2 filter.
• Recording in a poorly-
illuminated location.
• When you want to create
artistic trailing images of
fast-moving subjects.

Tips on Using the Manual Shutter
Speed
• Fast shutter speeds can be used with the still
recording functions (see pages 35, 36 and
67) 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.
1/25 sec.
