Setting the Shutter Mode and Speed

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

In SYNCHRO SCAN/SYNCHRO SCAN2 mode, shutter speed can be switched easily, using the SYNCHRO SCAN adjustment buttons (+/–) 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 found in the CAM OPERATION page.

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

If all modes and speeds are available, the display changes in the following order:

Note

When recording using VFR, set the shutter speed to 1/60 or 1/100 to allow the recording to continue without any change in brightness when the frame rate is changed mid-way through recording.

1 Press the SHUTTER switch, positioned at [ON], towards [SEL].
