<Notes>

O No matter in which mode the electronic shutter is used, the higher the shutter speed, the lower the camera’s sensitivity.

O When the aperture is in the automatic mode, it will increasingly open and the depth of focus will become shallower as the shutter speed is increased.

Setting the shutter mode and speed

O The SHUTTER switch is used to set the shutter speed and the shutter speed in the standard mode.

O The shutter speed in the SYNCHRO SCAN mode can easily be changed using the SYNCHRO (“+” and “–”) buttons.

O On the SHUTTER SPEED screen of CAM MENU, the setting range of the shutter speed can be restricted to the required range and whether or not to use the special operation modes (SYNCHRO SCAN and SUPER V) can be selected.

1 Following the steps for “Switching the display mode” (page 44), set DISP MODE to “2” or “3” on the CAM VF DISPLAY screen of CAM MENU.

2 Press the SHUTTER switch from ON to SEL.

The current shutter setting appears on the setting change message display area of the viewfinder screen.

Example: “1/120,” “1/61.2,” etc.

SHUTTER switch

3 Press the SHUTTER switch to the SEL position again, and repeat this until the desired mode or speed is displayed.

When all the modes and speeds are displayed, the display will change in the sequence shown below. When the required shutter speed and mode have been assigned beforehand, only the assigned speed or mode will be displayed.

<Note>

When the unit is shipped, the SUPER V mode is not assigned and so it will not be displayed.
