Giving priority to shutter speed (shutter-priority: Tv)

 

Use this program to select the shutter speed.

Tv 2000

The camera automatically sets all other values

Tv

necessary to give the correct exposure.

When you turn the program selector to Tv, the current

 

shutter speed is shown in the display. Select your

 

desired shutter speed by turning the EXPOSURE dial

 

toward + for a slower shutter or – for a faster shutter.

 

You can choose 9 shutter speeds between 1/60 and 1/15000 of a second.

 

When shooting outside on clear, bright days, the camera will often set a large F number to adjust the amount of light entering the camera, throwing the focus off. Setting a fast shutter speed or decreasing the amount of light with the ND filter can help correct this.

If you try to set a shutter speed that is either too high or too low for the shooting conditions, the indicator flashes in the display. In this case, increase or decrease the setting until the flashing stops, or turn the ND FILTER ON/OFF as appropriate before changing the setting.

Notes:

When recording in extreme low-light conditions, we recommend the use of a Canon Speedlite (p. 45) or Video Light (available as optional accessories, see page 14).

The Tv values are reset if you turn the power off or change the recording program. If you use the STANDBY lever, however, the camera remembers your chosen values.
