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 warning appears 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.

	Aperture	Shutter Speed (seconds)
Wide Angle	F 2.0 - 3.5	to 1/1250
	F 4.0 - 8.0	to 1/2000
Telephoto	F 3.0 - 5.0	to 1/1250
	F 5.6 - 8.0	to 1/2000

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.
