Shutter-Priority AE

● If the smallest aperture value (the maximum open aperture) for the lens you are using blinks, the scene is too dark. Turn the < > dial to a slower shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking.

● If the largest aperture value (the minimum aperture) for the lens you are using blinks, the scene is too bright. Turn the < > dial to a faster shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking.

Shutter Speed Display

You can set the shutter speed in half-stop increments as shown below. The shutter speeds from 4000 to 4 indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed, so that—for example—125 is 1/125 second. For slow speeds, 0”7 is 0.7 seconds,

and 15” is 15 seconds.

The ideal shutter speed for capturing a clear image from a TV screen is 1/15 second. We recommend using a tripod.

You can also set the camera so that you can set the shutter speed in 1/3-stop increments. (C.Fn-4-1→122)
