Notes
z Setting the shutter speed and aperture value
The difference between the settings and proper exposure judged by the camera appears as an
EV value on screen.
• When the shutter speed is one second or slower, the shutter speed is indicated by [”], for example,
[1”].
• When you set the shutter speed slower, using a tripod is recommended to prevent the effects of
vibration.
• When the shutter speed becomes slower than a certain speed, the NR slow shutter function is
activated automatically to reduce image noise, and [NR] appears on the screen.
• If you select slow shutter speeds, it takes time to process the data.
