- When setting the shutter speed, the number 
displayed will flash if the value selected is not 
appropriate for the recording conditions. In such 
case, select a different value.
- If you use a slow shutter speed in dark places, 
you can obtain a brighter image, but the image 
quality may be lower, and the autofocus may 
not work well.
- The image may flicker when recording with 
high shutter speeds.
- The shutter speed resets to [

 AUTO] when 

you set the mode switch to 

 or change the 

recording program.
