increases, the aperture widens and the focal
length decreases.
Because the focal time increases at slower
shutter speeds, we recommend using a
tripod.

With artificial lighting and especially
fluorescent lights and mercury-vapor lamps,
the luminance changes in synchronization
with the power line frequency. When this
frequency is 50 Hz, mutual interference will
occur between the camera-recorder’s vertical
sync frequency (approx. 60 Hz) and the
lighting frequency (50 Hz). This means that
the white balance may change periodically.
Before shooting in areas with artificial lighting
or adjusting the white balance, set the
shutter speed as follows.
