You can take a picture brightly in dark places by setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] slower. Also, you can set it faster to reduce the blur of the subject.

Note

•This should usually be set to [1/8 ] to take pictures. (When you select a minimum shutter speed other than [1/8 ], [ ] appears on the screen.)

•Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to slower speed might increase the chance of jitter, so we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.

•Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to faster speed might make the picture darker, so we recommend recording the picture in well-lit area. If correct exposure cannot be achieved, [ ] will flash in red when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
