Note
With artificial lighting, particularly fluorescent lights and mercury vapor lamps, the brightness appears to be constant, but in fact the strength of the red, green, and blue components varies with the power supply frequency. This phenomenon is known as “flicker.” When using the electronic shutter under these lighting conditions, there are certain cases in which the flicker is more noticeable. In particular, color flicker is evident when the power frequency is 60 Hz. In areas where the power frequency is 50 Hz, setting the shutter speed to 1/100 second will reduce the flicker.
Selecting the mode and speed of the shutter
The mode and the shutter speed in Standard mode are set using the SHUTTER switch.

Adjusting the Flange Focal Length
Adjustment of the flange focal length (the distance between the lens mount attachment plane and the imaging plane) is necessary in the following situations:
•The first time a lens is attached
•When changing lenses
•If the focus is not sharp at both telephoto and wide angle when zooming
The flange focal length can be more precisely adjusted by using the focus assist indicators.
See “Displaying the focus assist indicators” (page 17) for the focus assist indicators.
Note
The various parts of the lens used in adjusting the flange focal length are in different positions on different lenses. Refer to the operation manual for the lens.
