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.
Notes
If proper exposure is not obtained by your settings, the setting value indicators
on the screen will flash when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. You
can shoot in this condition, but exposure readjustment is recommended.
