SHUTTER SPEED
A fast shutter speed can
freeze the motion of a
fast-moving subject, and
a slow shutter speed can
blur the subject to give the
impression of motion.
[AUTO] : The shutter speed is adjusted automatically.
1/2 to 1/4000 (For
mode) /
1/2 to 1/500 (For
mode):
The smaller the value, the faster the shutter speed. Move the
set lever to / to set the value.
NOTE
It is recommended to use the tripod ( pg. 14) when recording
with a slow shutter speed.
APERTURE PRIORITY
You can add a blurring
effect to the background by
setting the aperture value
(F-number).
[AUTO] : The aperture value is adjusted automatically.
F1.2 to F16:
The lower the F-number (larger aperture value), the more
blurred the background will become. The higher the F-
number (smaller aperture value), the clearer the focus will be
for both near and far objects. Move the set lever to / to
set the value.
NOTE
If the image is too bright, set to a larger F-number. If the image is
too dark, set to a smaller F-number.
