Setting the Shutter Speed You can set the shutter to the speed at which you want to shoot. The camera will set the appropriate aperture value for the shutter speed you set. M stands for "Time value". Set the mode dial to M. Make the setting. ● Turn the  dial to set the shutter speed. Shoot. Available Shutter Speeds 15", 13", 10", 8", 6", 5", 4", 3"2, 2"5, 2", 1"6, 1"3, 1", 0"8, 0"6, 0"5, 0"4, 0"3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/13, 1/15, 1/20, 1/25, 1/30, 1/40, 1/50, 1/60, 1/80, 1/100, 1/125, 1/160, 1/200, 1/250, 1/320, 1/400, 1/500, 1/640, 1/800, 1/1000, 1/1250, 1/1600, 1/2000, 1/2500, 1/3200, 1/4000 • 2" indicates 2 seconds, 0"3 indicates 0.3 second and 1/160 indicates 1/160 second. • The fastest shutter speed when using the flash is 1/2000 second. Even if a speed faster than 1/2000 second is chosen, the camera automatically sets the speed to 1/2000 second or lower. However, if [Safety FE] is set to [Off] (p. 105), the fastest speed is 1/500 second. • Depending on the zoom position, some shutter speeds may not be available. What if aperture value is displayed in orange? If the aperture value displays in orange when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the scene has exceeded the correct exposure limits. Adjust the shutter speed until the aperture value displays in white. Safety shift can also be used (p. 101). • When shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower are used, images are processed to eliminate noise after being taken. A certain amount of processing time may be needed before you can take the next shot. • It is recommended to set the [IS Mode] to [Off] when lowering the shutter speed and shooting with a tripod (p. 155). 100
