<Notes>

ONo matter in which mode the electronic shutter is used, the higher the shutter speed, the lower the camera’s sensitivity.

OWhen the aperture is in the automatic mode, it will increasingly open and the depth of focus will become shallower as the shutter speed is increased.

Setting the shutter mode and speed

OThe SHUTTER switch is used to set the shutter speed and the shutter speed in the standard mode.

OThe shutter speed in the SYNCHRO SCAN mode
