Placing the Unit in SYNCHRO SCAN Mode

To place the unit in SYNCHRO SCAN mode, follow the steps below.

1 Press the SHUTTER switch positioned at [ON] towards [SEL], to place the unit in SYNCHRO SCAN mode or SYNCHRO SCAN2 mode.

2 In the SYNCHRO SCAN mode, it is possible to change the shutter speed continuously by operating the SYNCHRO SCAN (+/–) adjustment buttons.

3 In SYNCHRO SCAN mode, the shutter speed display can be switched between seconds and degrees.

For more details, refer to [SYNCHRO SCAN DISP.] (page 179).

In SYNCHRO SCAN2 mode, the shutter speed can only be displayed in seconds.

When the frame rate is low, pressing the SYNCHRO SCAN adjustment buttons (+/–) to change the shutter speed only gives a small change in the time, and consequently the shutter value in the viewfinder display may remain unchanged.

Note

When the VFR function is enabled, the variable ranges in the SYNCHRO SCAN mode differs from those seen when the VFR function is disabled.
