Setting the shutter mode and speed

Switch the <SHUTTER> switch to set the shutter speed in the shutter mode.

Press the <SHUTTER> switch positioned at <OFF> towards the <ON> side.

Press the <SHUTTER> switch from <ON> towards the <SEL> side, and repeat this operation until the desired mode or speed is displayed on the viewfinder.

If all modes and speeds are available, the display changes in the following order.

[S/S] display is indicated in the synchro scan mode.

NOTE

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.
The screen might be disrupted when the synchro scan and shutter settings are changed.
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.
Red, blue, or green spots might appear on screen at slow shutter speeds, though this is not a malfunction.
