Shutter Speed Priority Shooting

You can shoot still images after adjusting the shutter speed manually.

Set the mode dial to (Shutter Speed Priority Shooting).

Press the jog dial.

Turn the jog dial to select the shutter speed value.

You can select a shutter speed from 1/4000 to 30 seconds.

You can set the EV or ISO setting with the jog dial.

Notes

When the shutter speed is fast, the amount of flash light may be insufficient even if you fire the flash.

If the proper exposure is not obtained after making the settings, the setting value indicators on the screen flash when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. You can shoot in this condition, but we recommend that you adjust the flashing values again.

You may not be able to set some functions or MENU items depending on the selected REC mode. For details, see “Functions not available in some REC modes” [Details] and “MENU items not available in some REC modes.” [Details]

Shutter speed of one second or longer is indicated by [˝], for example, 1˝.

When you set the shutter speed slower, using a tripod is recommended to prevent the effects of vibration.

If you select slow shutter speeds, it takes time to process the data.

When the shutter speed becomes slower than a certain speed, the NR slow shutter function is activated automatically to reduce image noise, and appears on the screen.

About the shutter speed

When you set the shutter speed faster, moving objects such as running people, cars or splashing water, etc., appear stopped.

When you set the shutter speed slower, the traces of moving objects such as a river current etc., appear. You can shoot more natural live action images.
