Shooting – Selecting Particular Effects
zThe nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the
recorded image increases at slow shutter speeds. This camera,
however, applies special processing to images shot at shutter
speeds slower than 1.3 seconds to eliminate the noise, thereby
producing high-quality images. Nevertheless, a certain amount
of processing time may be required before the next image can
beshot.
zSee page206 for setti ngs that can be changed in this mode.
zPlease note that camera shake becomes a factor at slow shutter
speeds. If the camera shake warning appears on the LCD
monitor, secure the camera to a tripod before shooting.
zThe fastest shutter speed that can be used effectively with the
flash is 1/250 second. If you try to select a speed faster than
1/250 second, the camera automatically resets the shutter speed
to 1/250 second.
zThe aperture value and shutter speed change according to the
zoom state as follows.
Aperture Value Shutter Speed (seconds)
Wide Angle F2.0 – 3.5 to 1/1250
F4.0 – 8.0 to 1/2000
Telephoto F3.0 – 5.0 to 1/1250
F5.6 – 8.0 to 1/2000
