Notes on
B (Shutter-Priority Auto) Mode
• If the selected shutter speed would result in the picture being over- or underexposed, the shutter
speed display will flash when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Choose another shutter
speed and try again.
• At speeds slower than 1/4 s, the shutter speed indicator will turn red to show that noise is in the
image. Setting Noise reduction to On ( A148) is recommended to reduce “noise” in the form of
randomly-spaced, brightly colored dots.
B
Note on Shutter Speed
Shutter speed is restricted to a maximum of 1/2 s when Continuous, BSS, Continuous flash and
Multi-shot 16 are set for Continuous (
A140), or when any mode other than Off is set for Auto
bracketing ( A143).
B
Shutter Speed of 1/2,000 s
A shutter speed of 1/2,000 s is available only when the camera is zoomed out.
