Shutter Priority

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

Set the mode dial to (Shutter Priority).

Turn the control dial to select the shutter speed value.

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

* At F5.6 or higher aperture value. The fastest shutter speed at F2.0 is 1/2000 seconds.

Shoot with the shutter button.

About 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.

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. You can shoot in this condition, but we recommend that you adjust the flashing values again.

Shutter speed of 0.4 seconds or longer is indicated by [˝], for example, 0.4˝.

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.
