Setting the Electronic Shutter

This section provides a description of the electronic shutter, together with setting and handling directions.

Shutter Modes

The table below lists the shutter modes in which the unit’s electronic shutter can be used as well as the shutter speeds which can be selected.

 

To use the fixed shutter speed

 

 

To use the half shutter speed (HALF)

 

 

 

 

 

For eliminating flicker due to lighting

 

For shooting images when adding effects as if taken with

For shooting fast moving subjects clearly

 

film

To use the shutter speed of SYNCHRO SCAN

For shooting monitor screens in a way that minimizes the pattern of horizontal lines

For shooting images when adding effects to the subjects’ movement

SYNCHRO SCAN:

Shutter is set using angle (deg) irrespective of frame rate.

SYNCHRO SCAN2:

Shutter is set using time (sec) irrespective of frame rate.

Notes

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

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.

By setting the shutter speed on the time axis (1/60, 1/100, 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000), the frame rate can be varied while keeping the exposure constant.

This is equivalent to Ramping (compensating for changes in the frame rate using shutter angle) in a conventional film camera.

*F displays the frame rate frequency for VFR. For example, if the VFR recording was done with a frame rate frequency of 15, the range of the SYNCHRO SCAN will be from 1/15.
