z Tips
• 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, or mercury lamps, the picture
may flicker or change colors, or may have
horizontal bands of noise. You may be able to
improve the situation by adjusting the shutter
speed to 1/50 if the power frequency of your
area is 50 Hz, or 1/60 in a 60 Hz area.
• You can switch the shutter speed display
between seconds and degrees ([SHUTTER
DISPLAY], p. 73).
