Adjusting the shutter speed
Shutter speeds you can select
1
Each time you press the SHUTTER button, the
shutter speed switches between normal (OFF)
and the speed you selected with the SPEED
SEL button.
2
After you have pressed the SHUTTER button,
press SPEED SEL to select the shutter speed.
The shutter speed changes as follows each
time you press SPEED SEL.
When progressive mode is OFF (60i)
When progressive mode is on (30P/24P/24PA)
• Remember that the faster the shutter speed,
the lower the sensitivity.
• If iris is set to auto, then it will open wider with
higher shutter speeds and thereby reduce
focal depth.
• If you have set slow shutter mode (Page 40),
you cannot change shutter speeds
(“INVALID” appears on the screen).
First press the USER button you have
allocated to SLOWSHUT to cancel the slow
shutter mode, then change the shutter speed
as shown above.
With artificial lighting and especially fluorescent
lights and mercury-vapor lamps, the luminance
changes in synchronization with the power line
frequency. When this frequency is 50 Hz, mutual
interference will occur between the camera-
recorder’s vertical sync frequency (approx. 60 Hz)
and the lighting frequency (50 Hz). This means that
the white balance may change periodically.
Before shooting in areas with artificial lighting or
adjusting the white balance, set the shutter speed
as follows.
