NOTES

•[BShutter-Pri. AE]:

-On screen only the denominator is displayed – [B250] indicates a shutter speed of 1/250 second, etc.

-In mode, when the frame rate is set to [EPF24], the shutter speeds available will be the following: 1/6, 1/12, 1/24, 1/48, 1/60, 1/100, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000 and 1/2000.

-When recording in dark surroundings, you can obtain a brighter picture by using slow shutter speeds; however, image quality may not be as good and autofocus may not work well.

-The image may flicker when recording with fast shutter speeds.

-Recording movies under fluorescent lights: If the screen starts to flicker, select [BShutter-Priority AE] and set the shutter speed to 1/100.

•[CAperture-Priority AE]: The actual range of values available for selec- tion will vary depending on the initial zoom position.

•When setting a numeric value (aperture or shutter speed), the number displayed will flash if the aperture value or shutter speed is not appropri- ate for the recording conditions. In such case, select a different value.

•During exposure lock, the aperture value/shutter speed cannot be changed. Set the aperture value or shutter speed before manually adjusting the exposure.
