conditions

1/50

The shutter speed is fixed at 1/50 second. Black bands that usually appear when shooting a TV

screen become narrower.

 

1/120

The shutter speed is fixed at 1/120 second. Indoor sports such as basketball. The flickering that

occurs when shooting under a florescent light or mercury-vapour lamp is reduced.

Moving cars, trains or other rapidly moving vehicles such as roller coasters.

1/2000, 1/4000, 1/10000

Outdoor sports such as golf and tennis.

• Do not shoot the sun while the shutter speed is set to 1/1000 or slower.

CAUTION

• Slow shutter speed exposes the sensor to more lights, which may deteriorate the product.

 

 

The image may not seem smooth when a high shutter speed is selected.

 

When recording with a shutter speed of 1/1000 or higher, make sure the sun is not directly shining into the lens.

 

• Shutter speed 1/100 seconds means the shutter box is opened for 1/100 seconds.

 

• Faster shutter speed is recommended for shooting a dynamic subject. Note that higher shutter speed produces darker

 

image. As the shutter speed increases, the sensor accepts less light than a slower shutter speed setup.
