If you want to use the selected shutter speed and exposure value, you should begin the recording with
the shutter speed and the exposure adjustment screens displayed on the LCD.

If you manually change the shutter speed and the exposure value when Auto-exposure option is selected,
manual changes are applied first.

The image may not seem as smooth when a high shutter speed is set.

The camcorder returns to the auto shutter setting and auto exposure setting when you set the NIGHT CAPTURE to ON,
or change to the EASY, SLOW SHUTTER modes.

When recording with a SHUTTER SPEED of 1/1000 or higher, make sure the sun is not shining into the lens.
