If the selected shutter speed would result in the picture being under- or over-
exposed, the shutter-speed display in the monitor or electronic viewfi nder will

ter speed and try again. At speeds slower than ¼ s, the shutter-speed indicator
in the shooting display will turn yellow to show that mottling may appear in the
fi nal picture. If possible, choose a faster shutter speed or use noise reduction
