Gbutton ACustom Settings menu

This option determines the slowest shutter speed available when using front- or rear-curtain sync or red-eye reduction in mode P or A (regardless of the setting chosen, shutter speeds can be as slow as 30 s in S and M modes or at flash settings of slow sync, slow rear-curtain sync, or red-eye reduction with slow sync). Options range from 1/60 s (1/60 s) to 30 s (30 s).
