Table of contents Sample photo Menu Shutter Priority You can express the movement of a moving subject in various ways by adjusting the shutter speed, for example, at the instant of the movement with high speed shutter, or as a trailing image with low speed shutter. You can adjust the shutter speed also during movie recording. 1 MENU t [Shoot Mode] t [Shutter Priority]. 2 Select the desired value by turning the control wheel. 3 Adjust the focus and shoot the subject. The aperture is automatically adjusted to obtain proper exposure. Notes • You cannot select [Flash Off] and [Autoflash] in [Flash Mode]. When you want to fire the flash, raise the flash by pressing (Flash pop-up) button. When you do not fire the flash, push down the flash. • The (SteadyShot warning) indicator does not appear in shutter speed priority mode. • When the shutter speed is 1 second or more, noise reduction (Long Exposure NR) will be done for the same amount of time that the shutter was open after shooting. However, you cannot shoot any more while noise reduction is in progress. • If proper exposure cannot be obtained after setup, the aperture value on the shooting screen blinks. Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is recommended. • The brightness of the image on the LCD screen may differ from the actual image being shot. • When using an A-mount lens (sold separately), you can adjust the shutter speed when focusing manually during movie recording. • If you shoot an image using the camera's fastest shutter speed, the screen may display uneven exposure, depending on the shooting conditions. To avoid uneven exposure, change the shooting conditions (shift the shutter speed one step lower, etc.) before shooting. z Shutter speed When a faster shutter speed is used, a moving subject such as a running person, cars, and sea spray appears as if they are stopped. When a slower shutter speed is used, a trailing image of the movement of the subject is captured to make more natural and dynamic image. Index 62GB
