Manual shutter speed adjustment
 When the shutter speed is set lower than 1/15 

in the Still Picture Recording Mode, using a 
tripod is recommended. Also, white balance 
cannot be set. The shutter speed will be set to 
1/30 when the power is turned on again or 
when the quick start is performed.

 If you increase the shutter speed manually, the 

noise on the screen may increase.

 You may see a band of light around an object 

that is shining very bright, or highly reflective.

 During normal playback, image movement 

may not look smooth.

 If you record an extremely bright object or 

record under indoor lighting, color and screen 
brightness may change or a horizontal line 
may appear on the screen. In this case, record 
in Auto Mode or set the shutter speed to 1/60 
in areas where the power supply frequency is 
60 Hz, or 1/100 in areas of 50 Hz.

Manual iris/gain adjustment
 Luminance level and histogram are displayed 

during the iris adjustment. (

F 76, 77)

 If the gain value is increased, the noise on the 

screen increases.

 Depending on the zoom magnification, there 

are iris values that are not displayed.
