The selected shutter values can be checked with the status
indications displayed on the upper side of the viewfinder
(page 39).
When the frequency indication is assigned, the value
converted depending on the selected frame rate (number of
frames per second) will be displayed. The value with the
frequency value as a denominator will be the shutter speed.
Step Shutter mode
The eight most frequently used shutter values can be
registered as step shutters and can be selected by
specifying the number.
At shipment, the following values are registered:
The corresponding shutter frequencies vary according to
the frame frequency and frame rate of the selected video
format. The step shutter values can be changed and re-
registered on the <SHUTTER ASSIGN> page of the
USER (OPERATION) menu.

Shutter values that have not been registered as step shutters
can be used in Variable Shutter mode.
In a case where the remote control unit that is connected to
the REMOTE connector of the camera is used, Variable
Shutter mode is entered with ECS ON, and Step Shutter
mode is entered with SHUTTER ON. However, to display
the shutter frequencies and angles correctly, upgrading of
the version is required.
