Shooting - Selecting Particular Effects 63
• If the aperture value is flashing in the display panel or shown in
red in the LCD monitor, the image is under- or overexposed
(insufficient light). Adjust the shutter speed using the
or
arrow on the omni selector until the flashing stops or the
aperture value display turns to white.
• The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the recorded image
increases at slow shutter speeds. This camera, however, applies special processing
to images shot at shutter speeds slower than 1.3 seconds to eliminate the noise,
thereby producing high-quality images. Nevertheless, a certain amount of
processing time may be required before the next image can be shot.
• The aperture presets to F8.0 when the shutter speed is set to 1/1000 second.
• Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter speeds. If the
camera shake warning
appears in the center of the LCD monitor, secure the
camera to a tripod to shoot.
Shutter Speed Display
The shutter speeds from 1000 to 4 in the display are actually the denominator of a
fraction of a second. For example, 160 indicates a speed of 1/160 second. For
slower speeds, quote marks indicate the decimal place, so that 0"3 indicates 0.3
second and 2" indicates 2 seconds.

The display of shutter speeds from 1/4 to 1/1000 second differs between the
display panel and LCD monitor.
