The camera adjusts the aperture value accordingly.

If the appropriate exposure cannot be obtained, the aperture value displayed on the LCD monitor turns orange.

The focus frame turns green if the subject is in focus.

Total recording time will be longer when the picture is taken at a slower shutter speed, because the noise reduction function activates to reduce noise.
