# Setting the shutter mode and speed

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

The shutter speed in the synchro scan mode can be easily change by the <SYNCHRO SCAN> adjustment button on the side.

The shutter speed selection range can be restricted or use of the synchro scan mode can be selected beforehand in the main menu → [CAMERA] → [SHUTTER SPEED] and [SHUTTER SELECT].

Once selected, the shutter speed is saved even after the camera is turned off.

<SHUTTER> switch

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

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

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

Standard mode

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.

- 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.

- Shutter mode is off while the digital super gain function is active.
