The speed value for the shutter angle varies depending on the selected video format and frame rate.

To select the frame rate (number of frames per second)

When a video format of “Select FPS” is selected, the frame rate (number of frames per second) can be selected.

1 Move the cursor to 4.

2 Display the frame rate (number of frames per second) you wish to use by turning the MENU SEL/ENTER dial.

If a format other than those of “Select FPS” is selected, the frame rate cannot be changed.

To use Compensation mode

This camera enables you to compensate for changes in the video level when the FPS value is changed.

Two compensation modes are provided: one that depends on shutter angles and another that depends on electric gain.

1 Move the cursor to 5.

2 Select the compensation mode you wish to use by turning the MENU SEL/ENTER dial.

AC: Angle Compensation mode

When you change the frame rate, the shutter angle is automatically corrected, retaining the video level.

GC: Gain Compensation mode

When you change the frame rate, the electric gain is automatically corrected, retaining the video level. The current shutter angle setting is maintained.

For details on switching of the compensation modes with the menu, see “3-9 Detailed Shutter Settings” (page 49).

STEP 1-8

In the [deg] column on each line, the registered shutter angle is indicated. In the [sec] column, the shutter speed value converted according to the currently selected frame rate is displayed.

ADDFor newly registering a step shutter value.

Display a shutter angle you wish to register then push on the MENU SEL/ENTER dial. The selectable angle values are from 360.0 to 4.3 degrees. The Step shutter values are automatically sorted in descending order.

If eight values have been already registered, the message “STEPS FULL” is displayed, and a new value will not be added. In such a case, delete an unneeded value beforehand, using DEL.

DELFor deleting registered step shutter values.

When the pointer is positioned at DEL, an asterisk (*) is displayed at the left of STEP 1.

Move the asterisk to the left of the value you wish to delete then push on the MENU SEL/ENTER dial. That value is deleted, and the items after the deleted one will be automatically renumbered.

Example: When deleting 90.0

As the numbers for which no value is registered are skipped during a selection operation, deleting step shutter values with lower frequency of use will improve the operation speed.

At maximum, numbers 2 to 8 can be left unregistered.
