Setting the Shutter Speed (continued)

• Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode (p. 204)

• Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter speeds. If the camera shake warningappears in the center of the LCD monitor, secure the camera to a tripod before shooting.

The fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization is 1/250 second. The camera automatically resets the shutter speed to 1/250 second if a faster speed is selected.

The aperture value and shutter speed change according to the zoom state as follows.

Shutter Speed Display

The shutter speeds from 2000 to 4 in the display are actually the denominator of a fraction of a second. For example, 160 indicates a speed of 1/160 second. For slower speeds, quote marks indicate the decimal place, so that 0"3 indicates 0.3 second and 2" indicates 2 seconds.
