Shutter speed

When you set the Mode dial to "A/S/M", the ISO setting is automatically set
to "100". You can select ISO settings of 100, 200 or 400 (P.103). The avail-
able shutter speeds are not affected by the ISO setting.

Available shutter speeds: 4 sec. to 1/800 sec.

If the correct exposure cannot be achieved for the selected setting, the shut-
ter speed appears in red on the monitor. If "

" is displayed, decrease the

shutter speed. If "

" is displayed, increase the shutter speed.

Unless you select "OFF" in the "ALL RESET" setting (P.173), this setting will
be cancelled when you switch the camera off.
