previously adjusted is stored. This setting is
stored until the White Balance is adjusted again.

manual adjustment mode in dark places. If so, use
the auto white balance mode.
During setting in the manual adjustment mode

Manual Shutter Speed Adjustment
• If you increase the shutter speed manually, the
sensitivity lowers and accordingly the gain value
increases automatically, which may increase the
noises on the screen.

image of a brightly shining subject or highly reflective
subject, but this is not a malfunction.
• During normal playback, image movement may not
look smooth.
• Avoid recording under fluorescent light, mercury light
or sodium light because the color and brightness of
the playback image may change.
• When recording in the extremely bright place, the
color of the screen may change or flickers. If so
adjust the shutter speed manually to 1/60 or 1/100.
• If you are using MagicPix Mode (p. 30) or Scene
Mode (p. 31), you cannot adjust the shutter speed.

values that are not displayed.

Mode (p. 31), you cannot adjust the iris.
