Setting Shutter Speed
m
When a fast-moving object is recorded at normal
shutter speed, the picture may not be seen
clearly when played backThis can be improved
by increasing the shutter speed. Six shutter
speeds can be selected, 1/60 (normal speed),
1/100,1/250,1/1000,1/2000 or 1/4000 second.
Also, the depth of field in proper focus becomes
shallow at a higher shutter speed. This is
effective to record the main object in good focus
and the surroundings out of focus.
However, when the shutter moves fast, it will not
allow enough light to come into the lens, so the
picture will be dark. Therefore, when recording at
a high shutter speed, record in a brighter place
than usual.
Choose an appropriate shutter speed according
to the place and situation.
See the chart below for examples.
