CAMERA mode
SHUTTER ON is enabled after switching 
to MANUAL mode from AUTO mode. The 
shutter speed switches between the standard 
(OFF) shutter speed and the shutter speed 
you have selected with the SPEED SEL –/+ 
button each time you press the button.
PHOTO mode
You cannot switch between SHUTTER ON/
OFF. It is always set to SHUTTER ON.
The shutter speed appears at the left of the 
screen during SHUTTER ON.

  Press the SPEED SEL –/+ button to adjust 
the shutter speed while in SHUTTER ON 
mode. 
The shutter speed changes as per the following 
table.
As the shutter speed increases, camera 
sensitivity decreases.
With auto iris control, as the shutter speed 
increases, the aperture widens and the focal 
length decreases.
Because the focal time increases at slower 
shutter speeds, we recommend using a 
tripod.

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.
