Setting the Shutter
Speed
hs
When a fast-moving subject is recorded at
normal shutter speed, it may not be seen
clearly when played back in the pause mode
(still picture). This can be improved by
increasing the shutter speed. The shutter
speed, 1/60 (normal speed), 1/100, 1/1000 or
1/4000 of a second can be selected. (I-1)
When recording at a high-speed shutter
setting, record in a brighter place than usual.
Also, the depth of field in proper focus
becomes shallow at a higher shutter speed.
This is effective to record the main subject in
sharp focus and the surroundings out of focus.
Recommended setting for your situation
Choose an appropriate shutter speed according
to the situation, referring to the chart for
examples.
