[MIN. SHTR SPEED]

For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P21.

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:

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

Note

This should usually be set to [1/8 ] to take pictures. (When you select a minimum shutter speed other than [1/8 ], [ ] appears on the screen.)

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 well-lit area. If correct exposure cannot be achieved, [ ] will flash in red when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

B[AUDIO REC.]

For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P21.

Audio can be recorded simultaneously with the image. You can record the conversation during the shooting or the situation as a memo.

Applicable modes:

[OFF]: Audio will not be recorded.

[ON]: [B] is displayed on the screen.

Audio will be recorded as soon as the image is recorded. (It will stop in 5 seconds)

If you press [MENU/SET] during audio recording, the audio recording is canceled.

Note

Audio is recorded from the built-in microphone on the camera.

Audio recorded with this unit may not playback on other equipment.

F[AF ASSIST LAMP]

For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P21.

Illuminating the subject makes it easier for the camera to focus when recording in low light conditions that make focusing difficult.

Applicable modes:

[OFF]: The AF assist lamp does not turn on.

[ON]: When taking pictures in dark places, the AF assist lamp lights while the shutter button is pressed halfway. (Larger AF areas are now displayed.)
