Adjusting with the <SEL/PUSH SET> dial button and <MODE/MENU CANCEL> button

The shutter mode can be switched and adjusted using the <SEL/PUSH SET> dial button and <MODE/MENU CANCEL> button.

Enabling shutter mode

Press the <SEL/PUSH SET> dial button.

[SHUTTER ON] indication appears in the center of the screen. The shutter speed value is indicated and the shutter is enabled.

If you press the dial button again, [SHUTTER OFF] indication appears in the center of the screen and the shutter mode is disabled.

Every press of the dial button switches [SHUTTER ON]/[SHUTTER OFF].

Press the <SEL/PUSH SET> dial button and enable the shutter mode.

[SHUTTER ON] indication appears in the center of the screen.

Press the <MODE/MENU CANCEL> button and select a shutter mode.

Every press of the button switches the modes as follows, and the selected mode is highlighted in orange.

Shutter mode → variable frame rate mode → white balance variable mode

Variable frame rate mode can be selected only when [ON] is set in the main menu → [SCENE FILE] → [VFR].
White balance variable mode can be selected only when [VAR] is set in the main menu → [SW MODE] → [W.BAL PRESET], and the <WHITE BAL> switch is set to the <PRST> position.

Press the <SEL/PUSH SET> dial button and select shutter mode or synchro shutter mode.

Each time the button is pressed, the normal shutter mode and synchro shutter mode will be toggled.

Turn the <SEL/PUSH SET> dial button upward/downward and change the settings.

In synchro shutter mode, you can change the mode quickly by turning the button while it is pressed.

Press the <MODE/MENU CANCEL> button several times until the highlight of the mode disappears.

NOTE

The synchro scan display can be switched to [sec] (second) or [deg] (degree) in the main menu → [SCENE FILE] → [SYNC SCAN TYPE].
Also, synchro scan setting can be made in the main menu → [SCENE FILE] → [SYNCHRO SCAN].
Once selected, the shutter speed value and synchro scan speed value are saved even after the camera is turned off.
Whichever mode the electronic shutter is used in, the higher the shutter speed, the lower the sensitivity of the camera becomes.
When the aperture is in the automatic mode, it will increasingly open and the depth of focus will become shallower as the shutter speed is increased.
Under lighting conditions using fluorescent lighting or other discharge tube, horizontal stripes might appear on screen. If this happens, this can be improved by adjusting the shutter speed.
A subject that quickly crosses the camera may appear distorted when shot. This is due to the method applied for reading the signals from the pickup device (MOS sensor), and is not a malfunction.
