Adjusting the shutter speed

Adjust the shutter speed to control the picture quality. When recording sports events,
for example, use a high speed shutter to record fast moving objects clearly.
You can select from 6 different shutter speeds SLOW, 60, 100, 250, 1000 and PRESET.
SLOW and PRESET have their own menus. Refer to “To adjust the SLOW SHTR
(shutter) or S (shutter) PRESET menu items”.
Shutter speed numbers that appear in the viewfinder are inverted. For example, “250”
means 1/250 sec.
(1) Set AUTO LOCK to OFF.
(2) Set AUTO/MANUAL under the SHUTTER SPEED dial to MANUAL.
(3) Turn SHUTTER SPEED to select a shutter speed. Using the dial, you can select

SLOW, 60, 100, 250, 1000, or PRESET. The shutter speed indicator appears in the
viewfinder screen.
