Shutter Speed Display
z The LCD monitor displays the shutter speed as a fraction. However, the
viewfinder displays only the denominator. “ 0"5 ” indicates 0.5 sec. and “ 15" ”
is 15 sec.
Shooting Tips
z To freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject
Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec. according to
the speed of the moving subject.
z To blur a running child or animal and convey an impression of
motion
Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/250 sec. to 1/30 sec. Follow
the moving subject through the viewfinder and press the shutter button
to take the picture. If you use a telephoto lens, hold it steady to prevent
camera shake.
z To blur a flowing river or fountain
Use a slow shutter speed of 1/30 sec. or slower. Use a tripod to prevent
hand-held camera shake.
z Set the shutter speed so that the aperture display does not blink.
If you press the shutter button halfway and change
the shutter speed with the aperture displayed, the
aperture value will also change to maintain the same
exposure (amount of light reaching the image sensor).
In this operation, if the aperture value exceeds the
adjustable range, it will blink to indicate that the
standard exposure cannot be obtained.
If the exposure will be too dark, the maximum aperture (lowest f/
number) will blink. If this happens, turn the <
6
> dial counterclockwise
to set a slower shutter speed or increase the ISO speed.
If the exposure will be too bright, the minimum aperture (highest f/
number) will blink. If this happens, turn the < 6 > dial clockwise to set
a faster shutter speed or decrease the ISO speed.
