Using Long Shutter Speeds
Under certain conditions, you may want to use long shutter speeds either for special
effects or when working in low light conditions. Your camera is equipped with a set of
long shutter speeds which can be set from the REC menu.
1. To set a long shutter speed, turn on the
camera and press the MENU button.
2. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to select the
Long Shutter Speed option
3. Press the RIGHT button to enter the Long
Shutter Speed submenu.
4. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to select the
speed you require.
5. Press the SET button to save your selection
or the MENU button to cancel.
Long shutter speeds of 1, 2, 4 or 8 seconds are
available.
If the shutter speed is slower than 1/32 second (due to low light conditions), the camera
shake icon appears. This means that any movement when taking a picture will result in
a blur image. To prevent this, make sure you turn on the flash, use an extra light source
and/or use a tripod. Note that any movement by the subject will also result in a blur image.
