To select the Best Shutter Speed
Concerning shooting conditions and brightness, refer to the following chart to adjust
shutter speed accordingly.
Subject Shutter speed
• A golf swing or tennis match in fine weather 1/500 – 1/10000
• A landscape shot from a moving car or train
• A moving roller coaster in overcast days
1/100 – 1/500
• An athletic scene, marathon, etc.
• Indoor sports
• Replacement for the ND2 filter (to halve the
exposure) in situations of glare a sunny beach
or a snow covered mountain.
1/100
• Recording pictures with less flicker under a
fluorescent lamp
• In sunny weather (to avoid an out-of-focus
picture due to a small aperture)
Notes on the slow shutter speed
• You cannot use the slow shutter when DIGITAL MODE is set to OVERLAP.
• When using slow shutter, focusing can become difficult. In this case set focus to
manual and put the digital camcorder on a tripod.
Notes on the high shutter speed
• Using high shutter speed can cause the image to darken. So check brightness using
the viewfinder.
• Depending on the shutter speed, a screen may flicker and a color of screen may
change when you record under the illumination by a discharge tube such as a
fluorescent lamp, a sodium light and a mercury lamp. In such a case, fix shutter speed
in 1/100 in an area of 50 Hz and in 1/60 in an area of 60 Hz.
