* Only with the HD 20x L IS II or HD 20x L IS III Lens.

1. Set the dial to Tv.

2. Select the shutter speed with the SHUTTER or button.

With the custom function [OPER.DIRECTION] ( 100) you can change the direction of the adjustment when you push the SHUTTER buttons.

Settings other than the shutter speed (aperture, etc.) are adjusted automatically.

Using exposure lock to adjust the exposure manually will change the shutter speed, overriding the shutter speed selected in Tv mode.

When the GAIN dial is set to A (automatic gain), the numeric value on the screen flashes if the selected shutter speed is not suitable for the recording conditions. In such case, readjust the shutter speed. If you are using an ND filter, turn it off first and readjust the shutter speed.

Image quality may decrease to some extent when using slow shutter speeds.

You can use the custom keys ( 75) or the [SYSTEM SETUP/ ] [SHTR B.LOCK] setting ( 132) to prevent the accidental operation of the SHUTTER buttons.
