Setting the shutter speed and aperture (F value)
The difference between the settings and the proper exposure as judged by the camera appears as an Exposure Compensation value on screen.
A: Shutter speed/aperture (F value)
B: Exposure Compensation value
- 0EV is the value judged as the most suitable by the camera.
- When the shutter speed is one second or slower, the shutter speed is indicated by ["], for example, [1"].
- When you set the shutter speed slower, using a tripod is recommended to prevent the effects of vibration.
- 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. - If you select slow shutter speeds, it takes time to process the data.
Note
- If proper exposure is not obtained by your settings, setting value indicators on the screen will flash when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. You can shoot in this condition, but exposure readjustment is recommended.
- You cannot select shutter speed and aperture (F value) when the self-timer is set to [Self-portrait One Person] or [Self-portrait Two People].
