a trailing image with low speed shutter.

Notes
• You cannot select [Flash Off] and [Autoflash] in [Flash Mode]. Select it by pushing the flash up or down
with your fingers.
• The (SteadyShot warning) indicator is not indicated in shutter speed priority mode.
• When the shutter speed is one second or more, noise reduction (Long Exposure NR) will be done for the
same amount of time that the shutter was open after shooting. You cannot do any further shooting during
the reduction.
• If proper exposure cannot be obtained after the setup, when you press the shutter button halfway down,
the aperture value blinks. Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is recommended.
• The brightness of the image on the LCD monitor may differ from the actual image being shot.
• When using an A-mount lens, you can adjust the shutter speed when focusing manually during movie
recording.
Shutter speed
z
When a faster shutter speed is used, a moving subject such as a
running person, cars, and sea spray appears as if they are
stopped.
When a slower shutter speed is used, a trailing image of the
movement of the subject is captured to make more natural and
dynamic image.
