Setting the Shutter Mode and Speed

The shutter speed in any shutter mode is set using the SHUTTER switch.

In SYNCHRO SCAN mode, shutter speed can be switched easily, using the synchro-scan adjustment switches (+/–) on the side panel.

Note that the range of selectable shutter speeds may be pre-defined; whether or not to use the SYNCHRO SCAN mode may be determined through the <SHUTTER SPEED> and <SHUTTER SELECT> screens. These screens are accessible through the menu on the CAM OPERATION page.

The selected shutter speed is retained even if the unit is turned off.
