Setting the shutter speed and aperture (F value)
The difference between the settings and proper exposure judged by the camera appears as an EV value on screen.
A: Shutter speed value
B: Aperture value
C: EV
●
0EV is the value judged as the most suitable by the camera.
●
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
appears on the screen.
●
If you select slow shutter speeds, it takes time to process the data.
Notes
●
[Auto] cannot be selected for [ISO] in Manual Exposure Shooting mode.
●
If proper exposure is not obtained by your settings, the setting value indicators on the screen will flash when the shutter
button is pressed halfway down. You can shoot in this condition, but exposure readjustment is recommended.
●
If the ISO sensitivity is set to 6400 or 12800, you cannot use a shutter speed slower than 1/4 second. To use a shutter
speed slower than 1/4 second, set the ISO sensitivity to 3200 or less.
