Notes

zSetting the shutter speed and aperture (F value)

The difference between the settings and proper exposure judged by the camera appears as an

EV value on screen.

• When the shutter speed is one second or slower, the shutter speed is indicated by [”], for example,

[1”].

• When you set the shutter speed slower, using a tripod is recommended to prevent the effects of

vibration.

• When the shutter speed becomes slower than a certain speed, the NR slow shutter function is

activated automatically to reduce image noise, and [NR] appears on the screen.

• If you select slow shutter speeds, it takes time to process the data.
