Setting the shutter

1
Press the <DIAL SEL> button and select
[DIAL SHUTTER].
2
Press the <SHTR/F.RATE> dial.
• Each time the <SHTR/F.RATE> dial is
pressed, the shutter will turn ON/OFF.
• The shutter speed is changed in the order
shown in the charts on page 39 by turning the
<SHTR/F.RATE> dial when the shutter is ON.
• Remember that the faster the shutter speed,
the lower the camera sensitivity.
• Focusing on the subject would take longer if
the shutter speed is reduced, it is therefore
recommended that the camera be secured to
a tripod, etc. during shooting.
• Under the lighting of electric discharge tubes
such as fluorescent lamps, horizontal bands
may appear on the screen. Adjusting the
shutter speed may improve this condition.
• A subject that quickly crosses the camera may
appear distorted when shot. This is due to the
signal reading system of the pickup devices
(MOS sensor), and is not a defect.
• At slow shutter speeds (1/6 to 1/15), white,
red, green, or blue dots may appear on the
screen, however, this is not a defect.
