NOTE
t The synchro scan display can be switched to [sec] (second) or [deg] (degree) in the main menu → [SCENE FILE] → [SYNC SCAN TYPE].
t Also, synchro scan setting can be made in the main menu → [SCENE FILE] → [SYNCHRO SCAN].
t Once selected, the shutter speed value and synchro scan speed value are saved even after the camera is turned off.
t Whichever mode the electronic shutter is used in, the higher the shutter speed, the lower the sensitivity of the camera becomes.
t When the aperture is in the automatic mode, it will increasingly open and the depth of focus will become shallower as the shutter speed is increased.
t Under lighting conditions using fluorescent lighting or other discharge tube, horizontal stripes might appear on screen. If this happens, this can be
improved by adjusting the shutter speed.
t A subject that quickly crosses the camera may appear distorted when shot. This is due to the method applied for reading the signals from the pickup
device (MOS sensor), and is not a malfunction.
