Each time the SPEED SEL button is pressed, the shutter speed changes by one setting in the following sequence. When the progressive mode is OFF (60i) SYNCHRO SCAN 1/100 1/120 1/250 1/2000 1/1000 1/500 In the progressive mode (30P, 24P or 24PA) SYNCHRO SCAN 1/30 (1/24) 1/60 1/120 1/1000 1/500 1/250 OThe higher the shutter speed, the lower the sensitivity of the camera. OWhen the iris is controlled automatically, it opens more and more and the depth of focus becomes shallower and shallower as the shutter speed increases. OEven when the SHUTTER button is pressed while the slow shutter mode (see page 31) is established, "INVALID" appears in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor, and it is not possible to switch to the above shutter speed. First, release the slow shutter mode using the USER button to which SLOWSHUT was allocated, and then set to the above shutter speed. 1/ 1 0 0 If a setting other than OFF has been selected for the OTHER DISPLAY item on the setting menu DISPLAY SETUP screen, the current shutter speed setting is displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor. However, it is not displayed if the standard (OFF) shutter speed has been set. The luminance level of artificial lighting- particularly that of fluorescent lights and mercury lamps-changes in synchronization with the power line frequency. Especially in areas with a power line frequency of 50 Hz, the vertical sync frequency (approx. 60 Hz) of the camera recorder and frequency of the lighting (50 Hz) will interfere with each other, possibly causing the white balance to change cyclically. When shooting under artificial lighting or when adjusting the white balance, set the shutter speed as shown below.
