Adjusting the Shutter Speed
Steps to configure Shutter Speed priority 
exposure are described here.
   
Press PROGRAM AE  to set the 
IRIS, Gain (ISO), Shutter Speed 
and Exposure to [Auto].
   
Press SHUTTER SPEED  to set 
the mode to manual.
Pressing SHUTTER SPEED  
switches the setting mode between 
automatic and manual.

Tips
Changing the Shutter Speed affects how a 
moving subject appears. Set a fast Shutter Speed 
to shoot a fast moving subject clearly without 
blur. Conversely, set a slow Shutter Speed to 
emphasize the impression of movement.
You can set the Shutter Speed between 1/4 
second and 1/10000 second in 60p movie mode 
(NEX-VG30/VG30H), 1/3 second and 1/10000 
second in 50p movie mode (NEX-VG30E/
VG30EH), or 30 seconds and 1/4000 second in 
photo mode.
 It is difficult to focus automatically at a 
lower Shutter Speed. Manual focusing with 
your camcorder attached to a tripod is 
recommended.
When recording under fluorescent lamps, 
sodium lamps, mercury lamps, or LED lighting, 
the picture may have horizontal bands of noise. 
You may be able to improve the situation by 
adjusting the Shutter Speed.
