Recommended Shutter Speeds
The faster the shutter speed, the darker the
picture becomes. Select the most appropriate
shutter speed for the ambient light.
Tips on Using the Manual Shutter
Speed
• Fast shutter speeds can be used with the still
recording function (see page 39) 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 1/100 sec.
Notes:
• Recording with a shutter speed faster than 1/60
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 color shifts.
• The manual shutter speed setting will be
canceled if a scene setting is selected
thereafter.
• The manual shutter speed setting cannot be
used with Night Recording.
• When you want to cancel all manual settings and
return to Auto mode, press the AUTO ON/OFF
button.
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.
