BNotes on Shooting

When zooming is performed after the exposure is set, exposure combinations or aperture value may be changed.

When the subject is too dark or too bright, it may not be possible to obtain the appropriate exposure. In such cases, the shutter speed indicator or aperture value indicator flashes when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Change the shutter speed setting or aperture value. When settings such as ISO sensitivity (E46) are changed, the appropriate exposure may be obtained.

CShutter Speed

When the aperture value is set to f/1.8 (largest aperture), the shutter speed can be set to maximum 1/1600 second.

In A or C mode, when the aperture value is set to f/8 and the zoom is at the maximum wide- angle position or moved one increment to the telephoto position, the shutter speed can be set to maximum 1/1600 second.

The control range of the shutter speed differs depending on the aperture value or the ISO sensitivity setting. Additionally, the range is restricted during continuous shooting (A78).
