One of the adjustable settings will be highlighted in orange on the screen.
3 Push the joystick left/right to select the current shutter speed value.

Available Shutter Speeds
The available shutter speeds vary depending on the system frequency and frame rate used.
NOTES
When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camera, you can change the
shutter speed with the remote controller’s SHUTTER Í/Î buttons.
About reducing flicker due to shooting under artificial light sources:
- When shooting under artificial light sources such as fluorescent, mercury or halogen lamps, the
image may flicker depending on the shutter speed. In such case, you can use the [Camera Setup]
> [Flicker Reduction] setting to have the camera automatically detect and correct* flicker.
- Alternatively, you may be able to avoid flicker by setting the shutter speed to a value matching the
frequency of the local electrical system: 1/50** or 1/100 for 50 Hz systems, 1/60 or 1/120 for
60 Hz systems.
* Depending on the shooting conditions, the camera may not be able to reduce the flicker.
**May not be available depending on the frame rate.
