The ALC volume on the lens should be turned all the way to Av (Average).

If the backlight compensation function does not compensate properly for the conditions, set using the LEVEL volume on the lens.

High speed electronic shutter setting

Normally, the speed setting switches for the high speed electronic shutter are all set to the OFF position. This sets the electronic shutter speed to 1/60 sec. The switches can be set as indicated in table A to select one of the 8 speeds available.

CAUTION:

When using the high speed electronic shutter, the EI/BLC switch must be set to the OFF position.

Using the high speed electronic shutter indoors with low lighting, will give darker pictures. In such a case, add some lights to make sure the lighting is sufficient. If the lighting is very bright, pay attention to the light angle in order to avoid or minimize the smear phenomenon effect.
