O No matter in which mode the electronic shutter is used, the
higher the shutter speed, the lower the camera’s sensitivity.
O 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.
4-2-2 Setting the shutter mode and speed
The shutter speeds used in the shutter mode are set by
switching the SHUTTER switch.
The shutter speeds in the SYNCHRO SCAN mode can easily
be changed using the SYNCHRO SCAN (+ and –) buttons on
the side panel.
Open the <SHUTTER SPEED> screen and <SHUTTER
SELECT> screen from the OPERATION page by performing
menu operations. It is now possible to restrict the shutter
speed selection range to the required range beforehand
and/or select whether to use the SYNCHRO SCAN mode and
SUPER V mode beforehand.
Once selected, the shutter speed is retained even after the
unit’s power has been turned off.
