4-2 Setting the electronic shutter
This section describes the unit’s electronic shutter, its settings
and operations.
4-2-1 Shutter modes
The table below lists the shutter modes in which the unit’s
electronic shutter can be used as well as the shutter speeds
which can be selected.
Mode Shutter speed Applications
For shooting fast-moving subjects
clearly. Standard POSITION1 - 6
For shooting monitor screens with
a vertical scanning frequency
exceeding 60 Hz in a way that
minimizes the pattern of horizontal
lines. SYNCHRO
SCAN Within the 60.3 Hz to
249.8 Hz range
<Notes>
O No matter in which mode the electronic shutter is used, the
higher the shutter speed, the lower the camera’s sensitivity.
O
When the aperture is in the automatic mode, it will
increasingly open and the depth of focus will become
shallower as the shutter speed is increased.
4-2-2 Setting the shutter mode and speed
The shutter speeds used in the shutter mode are set by
switching the SHUTTER switch.
The shutter speeds in the SYNCHRO SCAN mode can easily
be changed using the SYNCHRO SCAN (+ and -) buttons on
the side panel.
Open the <SHUTTER SPEED> screen and <SHUTTER
SELECT> screen from the OPERATION page by performing
menu operations. It is now possible to restrict the shutter
speed selection range to the required range beforehand
and/or select whether to use the SYNCHRO SCAN mode and
SUPER V mode beforehand.
Once selected, the shutter speed is retained even after the
unit’s power has been turned off.
