1 <SYNCHRO SCAN> adjustment button
In the synchro scan mode, the speed of synchro scan can be adjusted. Pressing the <−> button slows down the shutter speed. Pressing the <+>
button speeds up the shutter speed.
For example, when taking shots of a computer monitor, adjust to a position where the noise for the horizontal bar in the viewfinder will be reduced.
2 <CC FILTER>/<ND FILTER> (filter switching) dial (page 36)
