Setting the Shutter Speed
When you set the shutter speed, 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.
You can change the combinations of shutter speeds and
aperture values without altering the exposure (p. 85).
Shooting Mode
1
Use the W or X button to select the shutter
speed, then shoot.
zIf the aperture value is shown in red, the image is
underexposed (insufficient light) or overexposed (too much
light). Use the W or X button to adjust the shutter speed
until the aperture value shows in white.
zThe 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).
