Changing the Shutter Speed Mode

4 Use the joystick to adjust the shutter speed.

NOTES
• When you record under bright conditions using automatic aperture control, the camcorder closes down the
aperture. This may cause the picture to appear blurred. To prevent this, set the shutter speed to
1/100 or faster.
• When you set the camcorder to full auto mode (0 41), the shutter speed mode will be set to auto (except in
slow & fast motion recording mode).
• When the gain and aperture are set to manual and the shutter speed is not set to auto, the exposure bar will
appear on the screen (0 54).
Flicker Reduction
You can perform the following procedure to have the camcorder
automatically detect and reduce flicker.
1 Open the [Flicker Reduction] submenu.

Using Slow Shutter Mode
When recording in dark surroundings, you can obtain a brighter picture
by using slow shutter mode. You can also use this mode when you
wish to add certain effects to your recordings, such as blurring the
background during panning shots or recording a moving subject with
an afterimage trail.
• Image quality may not be as good as when using faster shutter
speeds in brighter surroundings.
• Autofocus may not work well.
