Is it better to leave auto slow shutter on or off on optura 60.I havw additional l;ights for my camcorder. sima 3watt for the hot shoe & 2 camera bright 4 led that attach to tripod mount. thanks Franci

I just bought an Optura 60 and would also like to know this answer.

How are those lights with the Optura? Notice a big difference?

For low light I used all the lights on the camera plus a 3watt Sima light that fits on the hot shoe and two Camera Brite X1LEDs and it helps. But they only light up basically straight ahead. As far as the Camera Brite X1 I have an X1-ER which is supposed to be extended range up to 20 ft. and 6 ft. x 6 ft. coverage. It doesn't go quite that far and it not quite that wide but it is much superior to the standard X1 which has a shorter range. The nice thing about these lights is they screw into the tripod holder and they hafve a fitting for another light so you could screw in 2, 3 or 4 but 2 is plenty. Also on the Sima 3 watt lamp which fits on the hot shoe if I had to do it all over again I would have got a Cannon 3 watt light that works off the camcorder battery. As faras the automatic slow shutter goes I leave mine at 1/30th. Somewhere a few months ago I thought I read on one of these sites that is a way to get a better low light picture. Daylight pictures have been beautiful. Hope this helps.

Nobody has an answer to this original question we are both wondering about? "Is it better to leave auto slow shutter on or off on optura 60"

auto slow shutter senses when you're shooting in low light and lets in more light to brighten the scene while producing a slight juttery image most noticable with quick pans.
You should leave it On, unless you are sure you have enough light to produce a satisfactory image for your taste and want fluid 1/60 shutter or better
