[Min. Shtr Speed]

■■Recording modes:

For setting the minimum shutter speed. Slower shutter speeds can be employed to achieve brighter pictures in dark locations, provided the increased danger of camera shake is considered.

■■Settings: [AUTO] [1/250] [1/125] [1/60] [1/30] [1/15] [1/8] [1/4] [1/2] [1]

●●Since slower shutter speeds increase the risk of camera shake, we recommend using a tripod and/or the self-timer.

●●As pictures may become dark when using faster shutter speeds such as [1/250], we recommend to prefer bright locations in such cases ( flashes red when the shutter button is pressed halfway if the picture may be underexposed).
