• If the aperture value is flashing or shown in red, the image is under- or overexposed (insufficient light). Adjust the shutter speed using the or arrow on the omni selector until the flashing stops or the aperture value display turns to white. • The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the recorded image increases at slow shutter speeds. This camera, however, applies special processing to images shot at shutter speeds slower than 1.3 seconds to eliminate the noise, thereby producing high-quality images. Nevertheless, a certain amount of processing time may be required before the next image can be shot. • At shutter speeds between 1/640 and 1/1000 second, the aperture presets to F8.0. Shutter Speed Display The shutter speeds from 1000 to 4 in the display are actually the denominator of a fraction of a second. For example, 160 indicates a speed of 1/160 second. For slower speeds, quote marks indicate the decimal place, so that 0"3 indicates 0.3 second and 2" indicates 2 seconds. 1000 800 640 500 400 320 250 200 160 125 100 80 60 50 40 30 25 20 15 13 10 8 6 5 4 0"3 0"4 0"5 0"6 0"8 1" 1"3 1"6 2" 2"5 3"2 4" 5" 6" 8" The display of shutter speeds from 1/4 to 1/1000 second differs between the display panel and LCD monitor.
