Outline

The following operation allows the alignment of the shutter speed of the camera with the variable scanning rate of a computer monitor or display.

When a computer monitor screen or display is shot with the camera, a bright horizontal line indicating excessive exposure is displayed in cases when the scanning rate of the monitor is faster than the shutter speed of the camera. A dark horizontal line indicating insufficient exposure is displayed in cases when the monitor's scanning rate is slower than the camera's shutter speed.

The scanning frequency of a monitor varies due to various reasons during the computer operation. Adjust the scanning rate to obtain a stable image while observing the image in the viewfinder.

Variable Scan [V.SCAN]

•Basic operation

Set the SHUTTER item on the OPERATION MENU screen to VARIABLE. Then move the SHUTTER knob upwards or downwards to change the shutter speed.

(The speed is displayed on the viewfinder screen.)

•Compatible frequencies

The variable scan function is compatible with scanning frequencies in the following range.

60.1 Hz to 2084.6 Hz

CAUTION:

This function is not compatible with slow-speed computer monitors with a vertical scanning speed of 50 Hz.
