•The fastest shutter speed when using the flash is 1/500 second. As a result, the camera will not set a shutter speed faster than 1/500 second regardless of the aperture value you set.
•Depending on the zoom position, some aperture values may not be available.
What if shutter speed is displayed in orange?
If the shutter speed displays in orange when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the scene has exceeded the correct exposure limits. Adjust the aperture value until the shutter speed displays in white. Safety shift can also be used.
Safety Shift
With M and B modes, if [Safety Shift] is set to [On] in the 4 tab, the shutter speed or aperture value is automatically adjusted for the correct exposure when it cannot otherwise be obtained. Safety Shift is disabled when the flash is enabled.
