selects the best higher shutter speed (from 1/50 to
1/250) according to the lighting condition. Your
camera/recorder will display ‘‘S:AUTO”’ in the
viewfinder to let you know the SHUTTER switch
is in the ‘‘AUTO” position.

1/100, 1/250, 1/1000, 1/2000) by pressing the

NOTES:
¢ When shooting at the 1/1000 or 1/2000 speed, more
light is required because the pictures become darker
than the normal shooting at 1/50 speed. When there
is insufficient light, the speed indication flashes to
warn you.
¢ When a tape that was recorded using the high speed
shutter feature is played back, scenes changes will
not be seen as a smooth motion.
¢ When the camera is pointed at an object that is
moving rapidly, it may not be focused in the auto
focus mode. In this case, focus manually.
¢ When recording with the illumination such as a
fluorescent lamp, a mercury vapor lamp or a sodium
lamp, the picture may become bright or dark
(flickering).
