[i On], [j Off] (A 72) [i On], [j Off] The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting. • When this setting is set to [i On], the fastest shutter speed used is: 1/30 (59.94P), 1/15 (29.97P) or 1/12 (23.98P). • Auto slow shutter can be activated only during mode, when the shooting mode is set to ' or when infrared recording is activated. • If a trailing afterimage appears, set the auto slow shutter to [j Off]. [j Off], [k Automatic] When this setting is set to [k Automatic], the camcorder will automatically detect and reduce flicker. • When recording under light sources such as fluorescent, mercury or halogen lamps, the screen may flicker depending on the shutter speed. You may be able to avoid flicker by setting the shutter speed mode to a value matching the frequency of the local electrical system: 1/100 for 50 Hz systems, 1/60 for 60 Hz systems.
