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/aperture (F value)
B
: EV value
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.
