[MIN. SHTR SPEED]

Sets shutter speed to minimum. We recommend using slower shutter speeds to take
brighter pictures in dark locations.

Settings: [AUTO] [1/250] [1/125] [1/60] [1/30] [1/15] [1/8] [1/4] [1/2] [1]
●
Slower shutter speeds allow for brighter pictures but increase the risk of camera shake
and moving subjects being rendered increasingly unsharp, so we recommend using a
tripod and the self-timer.
●
As still pictures may become dark when using faster speeds such as 1/250 s, we
recommend that still pictures are taken in bright locations (
button is half-pressed if still picture will be dark).
