Setting the electronic shutter Shutter speeds which can be set Progressive mode OFF (60i) 30P 24P/24PA Standard (OFF) shutter speed 1/60 1/50 1/50 Shutter speeds which can be selected using SPEED SEL button SYNCHRO SCAN Shutter speed settings 1/60.3 --- 1/250 1/100, 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000 1/30.1 --- 1/250.0 1/24.1 --- 1/250.0 1/30, 1/60, 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000 1/24, 1/60, 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000 1 Each time the SHUTTER button is pressed, the standard (OFF) shutter speed and the shutter speed selected by the SPEED SEL button are selected alternately. 2 After pressing the SHUTTER button, press the SPEED SEL button to select the shutter speed. 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. 1/ 1 0 0 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. Progressive mode OFF (60i) 30P 24P/24PA Shutter speed 50 Hz 60 Hz 1/100 OFF (1/50) OFF (1/50) OFF (1/60) 1/60 1/60 Synchro scan The shutter speed of synchro scan used when shooting TV screens or computer monitor screens is set using the SYNCHRO SCAN item on the setting menu CAMERA SETUP screen. (See page 40) OWhen the shutter is adjusted to suit the frequency of a TV screen or computer monitor screen, the horizontal noise that occurs when shooting TV screens is minimized. OWhen the progressive mode is set, TV screens which have been played back with the PAL system can be shot as well. 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. 29
