sec. tends to darken the picture. Record in
bright locations when you use a fast shutter
speed.
• Using a fast shutter speed under fluorescent
lighting will cause flickering in the picture and
possibly periodic color shifts.

canceled If a scene setting is selected
thereafter.

used with Night Recording.
• When you want to cancel all manual settings and
return to Auto mode, press the AUTO ON/OFF
button.
Tips on Using the Manuai Shutter
Speed
• Fast shutter speeds can be used with the still
recording function (see page 39) to record
higher quality still images of fast-moving
subjects.
• If the on-screen picture flickers when
recording under fluorescent lighting, you may
be able to compensate by setting the shutter
speed to 1/100 sec.
