Advanced (Recording pictures)
Applicable modes: ·
[1/250], [1/125], [1/60], [1/30], [1/15], [1/8], [1/4], [1/2], [1]
Note
This should usually be set to [1/8] to take pictures. (When you select a minimum shutter speed other
than [1/8 ], [ ] appears on the screen.)
Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to slower speed might increase the chance of jitter, so we recommend
using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.
Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to faster speed might make the picture darker, so we recommend
recording the picture in well-lit area. If correct exposure cannot be achieved, [ ] will flash in red
when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
