● If the smallest aperture value (the
maximum open aperture) for the lens you

speed until the aperture value stops
blinking.

Shutter Speed Display
You can set the shutter speed in half-stop increments as shown below. The shutter
speeds from 4000 to 4 indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed, so
that—for example—125 is 1/125 second. For slow speeds, 0”7 is 0.7 seconds,
and 15” is 15 seconds.

The ideal shutter speed for capturing a clear image from a TV screen is 1/15
second. We recommend using a tripod.
You can also set the camera so that you can set the shutter speed in 1/3-stop
increments. (C.Fn-4-1
