Chapter 5 Adjustments and Settings
1 Set the SHUTTER switch to the ON position.
The SHUTTER indicator in the viewfinder comes
on, and it is now possible to change the shutter
speed or clear scan frequency setting and to set the
EVS function. (If the EVS is already selected, the
SHUTTER indicator will not light.)
2 Operate the MENU/STATUS switch to align the
cursor with the item “SHUTTER” in basic menu
page 1.
3 Press the UP/ON button or DOWN/OFF button to
select the required shutter speed, scan frequency or
EVS.
Each time you press the UP/ON button or DOWN/
OFF botton, the shutter speed or clear scan
frequency setting changes in the following order:
200.3Hz
• • •
60.4Hz
1/100
EVS
1/60
1/250 1/500 1/1000 1/2000
DXC-D35/D35WSL
201.4Hz
• • •
50.3Hz
DXC-D35P/D35WSPL
DXC-D35/D35WSL
DXC-D35P/D35WSPL

Shutter Settings
This section covers the settings for electronic shutter
speed, CLS (clear scan ) and EVS function.
The new value for the shutter speed or clear scan
frequency and EVS setting remains set until changed,
even when the camera is powered off.
Shutter speeds
There are five shutter speeds, from
1
/100 s (DXC-D35/
D35WSL) or
1
/60 s (DXC-D35P/D35WSPL) to
1
/2000 s.
Increasing the shutter speed reduces blurring when
shooting a fast-moving subject. It is also possible to
reduce flicker when shooting under fluorescent
lighting by changing the shutter speed.
CLS (Clear Scan) function
When shooting a computer screen or projected image,
horizontal bands may appear in the camera image.
This is because the vertical scan frequency of the
computer-generated image is different from the
vertical scan frequency of the video system. The clear
scan function allows you to select a vertical scan
frequency to reduce this interference.
EVS (Enhanced Vertical Scan)
This function enhances the vertical scan resolution
from 400 to 450 lines (or 450 to 530 lines) to reduce
flicker. However, this increases the aliasing.

Notes on setting the shutter speed
• The faster you make the shutter speed, the darker the
image becomes. Check the brightness in the
viewfinder, and if necessary increase the lighting
level or adjust the iris.
• When the shutter speed is very fast, shooting a high
intensity subject may cause long vertical tails to
appear on the highlights (smear).
Note on setting the CLS function
The vertical scan frequencies of computer screens
vary, and it may not be possible to eliminate the
interference patterns entirely. Note also that the
vertical scan frequency may change depending on the
software being run.
