More on Photography

If the selected shutter speed would result in the picture being under- or over- exposed, the shutter-speed display in the monitor or electronic viewfinder will flash when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Choose another shut- ter speed and try again. At speeds slower than ¼ s, the shutter-speed indicator in the shooting display will turn yellow to show that mottling may appear in the final picture. If possible, choose a faster shutter speed or use noise reduction ( 109).

Ultra HS

When Ultra HS is selected for Continuous ( 88), the frame advance rate is fixed at thirty frames per second, with the result that the shutter speed can not be set to a value slower than 1/30 s.

Aperture Restrictions

At a shutter speed of 1/3,000 s, aperture is restricted to f/7.4 (maximum zoom) or to values between f/5.0 and f/8.0 (camera zoomed out to widest angle).
