  Press the SHUTTER button.
Each time you press the SHUTTER button, the 
shutter speed switches between normal (OFF) 
and the speed you selected with the SPEED 
SELECT buttons.

  After you have pressed the SHUTTER 
button, press SPEED SELECT buttons to 
select the shutter speed.
The shutter speed changes as follows each 
time you press SPEED SELECT + button (The 
order is reversed for the SHUTTER SELECT 
- button.)
Remember that the faster the shutter speed, 
the lower the sensitivity.
If iris is set to auto, then it will open wider 
with higher shutter speeds and thereby 
reduce focal depth.
It will take longer to focus when the 
shutter speed has been reduced so it is 
recommended that the unit be secured to a 
tripod, etc. for use.
SHUTTER   1/50
The current shutter speed appears on the 
viewfinder and LCD monitor unless you have 
selected OFF in OTHER DISPLAY in the 
DISPLAY SETUP screen of the setup menus. It is 
not displayed if you have set the shutter speed to 
normal (OFF).
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.
