Auto Slow Shutter
In Easy Recording mode and when [SHUTTER] is set to [AUTO] in Auto mode, the
camcorder uses shutter speeds down to 1/30 in CAMERA mode and 1/15 in CARD
CAMERA mode. This allows you to record brightly in places with insufficient lighting.
However, you can set the camcorder not to use a slow shutter speed.
Open the menu and select [CAMERA SETUP]. Select [A.SL SHUTTER], set it
to [OFF] and close the menu.
In CARD CAMERA mode, set the flash mode to (flash off).
When set to [ON], moving subjects may leave a trailing afterimage.
The camcorder retains the setting separately in CAMERA and CARD CAMERA
mode.
The setting cannot be changed when exposure is locked.
If “ ” (camcorder shake warning) appears in CARD CAMERA mode,
stabilize the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a tripod or placing it
on a table.
