Shooting - Selecting Particular Effects
Setting the Shutter Speed
When you set the shutter speed in the shutter speed-priority AE mode, the camera
automatically selects an aperture value to match the brightness. Faster shutter
speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous image of a moving subject while
slower speeds create a flowing effect and allow you to shoot without a flash in
dark areas.

Turn the mode dial to .
• The shutter speed will show in the display panel. It will
also appear on the LCD monitor if it is on.
2
Turn the main dial and select a shutter
speed.

Shoot the image.
• The correct exposure has been set if the shutter
speed and aperture value show in white in the
LCD monitor.
• If the aperture value is shown in red in the LCD monitor, the image is under
exposed (insufficient light) or overexposed (too much light). Adjust the shutter
speed using the main dial until the aperture value display turns to white.
• The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the recorded image
increases at slow shutter speeds. This camera, however, applies special processing
to images shot at shutter speeds slower than 1.3 seconds to eliminate the noise,
thereby producing high-quality images. Nevertheless, a certain amount of
processing time may be required before the next image can be shot.
