gSHUTTER switch

OFF: An electronic shutter does not function.

ON: An electronic shutter is activated.

SEL: The shutter speed and shutter mode change each time the switch is set to this position.

When you set the shutter mode to SLS, the camera enters Slow-Shutter mode (Accumulation mode). You can select the accumulation time in the range of 1 to 7 frames using the PAINT Menu.

Notes

•In Slow-Shutter mode, the following restrictions are generated:

Iris: When a remote control unit is connected, AUTO IRIS mode is set to OFF. When no remote control unit is connected and the camera is used in AUTO IRIS mode, the iris is forcibly opened. If you wish to adjust the iris, set AUTO IRIS to OFF using the MAINTENANCE Menu and adjust it manually.

Flare compensation: The FLARE setting on the SW STATUS (P1) page selected from the PAINT Menu is forcibly set to OFF.

Auto white balance: The time required for automatic white balance adjustment may be prolonged depending on the setting of accumulation time.

•The following phenomena are due to the characteristics of a CCD in Slow-Shutter mode and are not defects of the product. For details, consult your Sony service personnel:

–White dots on the CCD become clear when you increase the number of frames for Slow-Shutter mode.

–The picture is distorted when the camera is switched to Slow-Shutter mode.

•The SHUTTER switch does not function when the camera is connected to a CCU, RCP, or RM.
