You may see a band of light around an object that is shining very bright, or highly reflective.
During normal playback, image movement may not look smooth.
If you record an extremely bright object or record under indoor lighting, colour and screen
brightness may change or a horizontal line may appear on the screen. In such cases, change
settings as follows:
j Set this unit to Intelligent Auto Mode.
j Adjust the shutter speed to 1/50, 1/60 or 1/100.
j Adjust the Synchro Scan setting
In Auto Iris Mode or Auto
Gain Mode, the screen brightness may not change even if you adjust
the shutter speed. (l 48, 49)
If you press the multi-function dial when the shutter speed is displayed as a decimal number, the
Synchro Scan setting will be displayed. You can fine-adjust the shutter speed by adjusting the
Synchro Scan setting.
1 Press the SHUTTER button
2 When the shutter is displayed as a decimal number (e.g.,
1/60.0), press the multi-function dial.
The display on the screen will switch from [ SHUTTER] to
[ SYNCHRO], and the Synchro Scan setting will be displayed.
3 Adjust the Synchro Scan setting by rotating the multi-function dial.
You can adjust the setting faster by rotating the multi-function dial while pushing and holding it.
To minimise flickering and horizontal bands, look at the screen while adjusting the shutter speed.
4 Push the multi-function dial to set.
Shutter speed range for the Synchro Scan setting
The shutter speed range varies depending on the frame rate in [REC FORMAT]. (l 139)
