[Min. Shtr Speed]

brighter pictures in dark locations.

Settings: [AUTO] [1/250] [1/125] [1/60] [1/30] [1/15] [1/8] [1/4] [1/2] [1]
Ɣ
Slower shutter speeds allow for brighter pictures but increase risk of jitter, so we
recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.
Ɣ
As still pictures may become dark when using faster values such as [1/250], we
recommend that still pictures are taken in bright locations (
flashes red when shutter
button is half-pressed if still picture will be dark).

clearer resolution. Also, when [i.ZOOM] is set, the zoom ratio can be increased to about
