[MIN. SHTR SPEED]

For details on [REC] Mode menu settings, refer to P27.

You can take a picture brightly in dark places by setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] slower. Also, you can set it faster to reduce the blur of the subject.

Applicable modes:

[AUTO], [1/250], [1/125], [1/60], [1/30], [1/15], [1/8], [1/4], [1/2], [1]

Minimum shutter speed setting	1/250	1
Brightness	Darker	Brighter
Jitter	Less	More

Note

•This should usually be set to [AUTO] to take pictures. (When you select a minimum shutter speed other than [AUTO], [ ] appears on the screen.)

•When [AUTO] is selected, shutter speed may be set up to 1 second when there is not much jitter to adjust with the [STABILIZER], or when [STABILIZER] is set to [OFF].

•Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to slower speed might increase the chance of jitter, so we recommend using a tripod and the Self-Timer for taking pictures.

•Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to faster speed might make the picture darker, so we recommend recording the picture in a well-lit area. If correct exposure cannot be achieved, [ ] will flash in red when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
