subject and the type of effect you want.

1 Press XY to set the shutter

speed.

• The shutter speed bar is displayed.

Y : Sets the shutter speed faster.

Shutter speed range: 4" to 1/1000

• When the exposure is correct, the

shutter speed is displayed in green.

When the correct exposure cannot be

obtained, the shutter speed is displayed

in red.

Note

• To avoid camera movement, you are recommended to use a tripod when taking

pictures requiring a slow shutter speed.

Setting a fast shutter speed lets you

capture fast-moving action as though it

was stopped in motion.

Setting a slow shutter speed blurs a

moving subject, giving the impression of

movement.
