| Multiple-speed electronic shutter
The GR-65E is equipped with a selectable high-speed
shutter that allows better recording of quick move-
ments for sharp, clear stills or slow-motion playback.

want to play back later in the Still or Siow-motion
mode.-

1/250 and Standard (1/50)-second by pressing
SHUTTER button. This can be done while record-
ing or in any other mode. {t continues at the
selected speed unti! switched to another speed.

indicated on the viewfinder screen and LCD.

switch back to the standard shutter speed by press-
ing the SHUTTER button until STD appears on
the LCD.
Notes:
@The High-Speed Shutter mode requires stightly more
subject iflumination than the Standard Shutter
mode. Therefore, the low-light warning may blink
in the viewfinder. If so, switch to the Standard
Shutter mode.
® Picture colour may be adversely affected in the High-
Speed Shutter mode when the subject is lit by alter-
nating discharge-type light sources such as fluores-
cent or mercury-vapour lights.
@When playing back a section recorded in the High-
Speed Shutter mode, movement of subjects in the
picture may not be smooth. This is not due to any
defect of the unit.
@Pressing the FULL AUTO button also restores the
shutter speed to the standard level.
