Adjusting the shutter speed
Shutter speed is set using the SHTR/F.RATE dial and DIAL SEL button.
As well as the shutter speed, you can use the SHTR/F.RATE dial to select settings for synchro scan and frame rate.

•The function of the SHTR/F.RATE dial changes in the following order.

•SYNCHRO SCAN can be selected when the SHUTTER is set to SYNCHRO SCAN. SYNCHRO SCAN is displayed only when the SHUTTER is set to SYNCHRO SCAN.

2 Push the SHTR/F.RATE dial.
•The SHUTTER mode changes ON/OFF.
•The shutter speed changes by turning the SHTR/F.RATE dial in the shutter mode ON. (Page 50)
•Remember that the faster the shutter speed, the lower the sensitivity.
•It will take longer to focus when the shutter speed has been reduced so it is recommended that the unit be secured to a tripod, etc. for use.
•The screen may be distorted when changing the SYNCHRO SCAN or SHUTTER setting.
•Under fluorescent lighting and other discharge lighting systems, horizontal stripes may appear on the screen. Changing the shutter speed may correct this problem.
•A subject that is captured when moving quickly across the field of view may appear distorted. This is due to the signal read out format of the image sensor (MOS sensor) and is not a malfunction.
•The red, blue and green dots that may appear on the screen at low shutter speeds (1/6 to 1/15) do not indicate a malfunction.
