Faster shutter speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous image of a moving subject, while slower speeds create a flowing effect and allow you to shoot without a flash in dark areas.
Page 99: Safety Shift
The nature of CCDs is such that noise in the recorded image increases at slow shutter speeds. This camera, however, applies special processing to images shot at shutter speeds slower than 1.3 seconds to eliminate the noise, thereby producing high-quality images. (However, a certain amount of processing time may be required before the next image can be shot.) The shutter speed, zoom and aperture value have the...
Page 100: Setting The Aperture
Setting the Aperture The aperture adjusts the amount of light entering through the lens. When you set the aperture value, the camera automatically selects a shutter speed to match the brightness. Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to blur the background and create a beautiful portrait.
Page 101 Some aperture values may not be available with certain zoom positions (p. 97). The maximum shutter speed with synchronized flash is 1/500 second*. Therefore, even if an aperture value is preset, the aperture value may automatically be reset to match the synchronized flash speed.
