Shutter speed adjustment range
When adjusting both shutter speed and brightness (iris and gain), adjust the 
shutter speed first.
Interference may increase with faster shutter speeds (as sensitivity becomes 
lower and gain value rises automatically).
Vertical bands of light may appear during playback on shiny or highly reflective 
objects.
Avoid fluorescent, mercury, and sodium lighting. Such lighting conditions may 
affect colouring and brightness.
In normal playback, image movement may not look smooth.
Colours may change and flicker when recording in extremely bright locations. 
Set the shutter speed between 1/50 and 1/100.
