The camera automatically resets the shutter speed to 1/500 second if a faster speed is selected. • Depending on the zoom position, some shutter speeds may not be available. What if aperture value is displayed in red? If the aperture value displays in red 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. 93). 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. 92
