About aperture value
To record motion pictures with a larger depth of field, set the aperture value to a higher
number. To record motion pictures with a smaller depth of field, set a lower number.
Setting the aperture value
You can set the aperture values between [1.4] and [8]
in 1/3-stop increments.
(Set the aperture ring only to the click-stop positions.)
About the shutter speed
To record a sharp motion picture of a fast-moving subject, set a faster shutter speed.
To record a motion picture with a trailing effect for a subject’s movements, set a slower
shutter speed.
Setting the shutter speed
Press the shutter button to start and stop recording motion pictures.
Still pictures cannot be recorded while motion pictures are being recorded.
The shutter speed that can be set using [Creative Video Mode] is different from the
values that can be set using [Program AE], [Aperture-Priority], [Shutter-Priority], and
[Manual Exposure] Modes.
Although you can change camera settings such as shutter speed and aperture value
even when a motion picture recording is in progress, the beeps and camera operation
sounds may be recorded in some cases.
When you set a faster shutter speed, the monitor image noise may increase due to
the higher sensitivity.
When you take a picture under a fluorescent lamp, LED, mercury arc lamp or sodium
lamp, for example, the coloring and the brightness of the screen may change.
