Manually adjusting the shutter speed

The shutter speed can be set using two methods. One is
a method that specifies the time (where a time such as
1/250 sec. is designated), and the other is a method that
specifies the frequency (where synchro scan, 60.17 Hz, etc.
is designated).
When shooting a TV screen or PC monitor screen, the
horizontal noise generated when the screen is shot can
be minimized by adjusting the frequency to the screen
frequency using synchro scan.
When performing the operations
using the wireless remote control
Perform the adjustments on the Camera menu.
For further details, refer to the [Shutter Mode] on page 38 and
[Step/Synchro] items on page 39.
When performing the operations using the controller
The procedure is the same as for “When performing the
operations using the wireless remote control” in “Basic
operations” (pages 29 to 36).
When the AW-RP555 is connected:
1 Press the [SHUTTER] button and turn its lamp

on.

The shutter speed set ahead of time is selected.
2 If necessary, press the [SHUTTER] button and

turn its lamp off in order to return the shutter to

the OFF setting.

How to set the shutter speed using the AW-RP555

The [PRESET] [1] to [5] and [6] to [10] buttons blink
alternately.

Any change in the shutter speed is reflected the next
time the [SHUTTER] button is pressed and its lamp is
turned on.
When OFF is selected, the shutter will not operate
even when the [SHUTTER] button is pressed.
Select the synchro scan setting on the menu.
The shutter speed setting performed here is stored in
the memory even when the power of the AW-RP555
is turned off.
