Setting the electronic shutter
Using “Shutter” (page 45) in the Picture Profile
menu, you can set the shutter mode and the
shutter speed (the accumulated time that is shot
per frame).
When the AE function is on, the unit is in auto
shutter mode and the shutter speed is set
automatically according to the brightness of the
subject. Also, when the AE function is off, the
setting of “Shutter” >”ECS Frequency” changes
depending on the BRIGHTNESS value when you
rotate the BRIGHTNESS knob.
Shutter modes
Speed (standard) mode
Set the shutter speed in seconds.
This mode may be especially effective when you
wish to record a quick-moving subject with little
blurring and to adjust the brightness.
ECS (Extended Clear Scan) mode
Set the shutter speed as a frequency.
This mode may be used when you wish to adjust
the brightness more finely than in Speed mode.
SLS (Slow Shutter) mode
For shooting a subject in low-level lighting
conditions. Specify the shutter speed in the
number of accumulated frames.
EXSLS (EX Slow Shutter) mode
The shutter speed is specified in the number of
accumulated frames. Up to 64 frames can be
accumulated in this mode, permitting you to
obtain low-noise clear pictures in low light levels.
Setting the shutter mode/speed
Use “Shutter” >“Mode” (see page 45) and
“Shutter” >“Shutter Speed” (see page 45) in the
Picture Profile menu.
Notes
• “Shutter” in the Picture Profile menu cannot be
set when the AE function is on.
• If “Flash” is set to “On” when “Shutter”
>”Mode” is set to “SLS” or “EXSLS”,
“Shutter” >”Mode” is set automatically to
“Off”.
