As well as the shutter speed, you can use the SHTR/F.RATE dial to select settings for synchro scan and frame rate. Using SHTR/F.RATE dial SHTR/F.RATE dial DIAL SEL button Press the DIAL SEL button. • The function of the SHTR/F.RATE dial changes in the following order. SHUTTER → SYNCHRO SCAN → FRAME RATE → LOCK → SHUTTER → • SYNCHRO SCAN can be selected when the SHUTTER is set to SYNCHRO SCAN. SYNCHRO SCAN is displayed only when the SHUTTER is set to SYNCHRO SCAN. • FRAME RATE can be selected when the mode is 1080i or 720P.

Changing the shutter speed may correct this problem. • A subject that is captured when moving quickly across the field of view may appear distorted. This is due to the signal read out format of the image sensor (MOS sensor) and is not a malfunction. • The red, blue and green dots that may appear on the screen at low shutter speeds (1/6 to 1/15) do not indicate a malfunction. To prevent accidental operation, DIAL LOCK is automatically applied when no operation is performed for approximately 12 seconds. 49
