• Please note that camera shake becomes
a factor with larger aperture values that
slow down shutter speeds. If!iJ (camera
shake warning) appears in the LCD
monitor, secure the camera to a tripod
before shooting.
• In this mode, the shutter speed range
with synchronized flash is 1/60 second
to 1/500 second. The aperture value
setting may therefore be changed
automatically to match the synchronized
flash speed even if its value was set
previously.

aperture to shoot images. You can select
settings such as a long exposure to suit your
purpose.

difference is more than ±2 steps, "-2" or "+2"
appears in red.

AE function according to the selected
metering mode.
