NOTE
@
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 The screen might be disrupted when the synchro scan and
shutter settings are changed.
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.
1/120
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.
t Red, blue or green spots might appear on screen at slow
shutter speeds, though this is not a malfunction.
