EXPOSURE

•Refer to P55 for the available range of the aperture value and the shutter speed.

•The focus range is 0.16 feet (5 cm) – ¶ (Wide), 6.56 feet (200 cm) – ¶ (Tele).

•The brightness of the screen may differ from that of the actual pictures. Check it using review function or setting to the playback mode.

•You cannot set the following items in Shutter-priority AE.

–Slow sync./Red-eye reduction [ ] (P39)

–[AUTO] in ISO sensitivity (P70) (When the recording mode is switched to Shutter-priority AE, the ISO sensitivity is automatically set to [ISO100] even though it was set to [AUTO] beforehand. Even though the ISO mode is set to [ISO100] automatically, you can also change ISO setting from [ISO64], [ISO200], [ISO400] on the menu.)

•When the exposure is not adequate, the aperture value and the shutter speed on the screen turn red.

•When the shutter speed is slow, we recommend using a tripod.
