RECORDING
About Sync Speeds
You can use the procedure under "Using the REC Menus" on
page E-79 to specify the shutter speed you want when using
the flash. You can select one of the following three sync
speed settings.
When you want to do this:
Shoot at a shutter speed of 1/125
second, which reduces blurring due
to subject or hand movement. Use
this setting when you want to record
indoor images of children playing in-
doors, etc.
Shoot at a shutter speed of 1/60 sec-
ond.
Shoot at a shutter speed of 1/30 sec-
ond, which makes the background
lighter (but increases the chance of
blurring due to hand movement).
IMPORTANT!
• In the Manual Mode (M Mode), the manually set shut-
ter speed takes priority over the above setting.

Quality Settings
The camera has three quality modes: FINE, NORMAL,
ECONOMY.
• To determine the number of images that can be stored on a
memory card (CompactFlash card or microdrive) of a dif-
ferent capacity, multiply the capacities in the table below,
by the appropriate value.
• The actual number of images that can be stored in memory
cannot be specified precisely because the amount of
memory required for storage of each image differs accord-
ing to image contents.
