Using the Mode Dial

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 value and shutter speed change according to the zoom state as

follows.

The fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization is 1/250 second. The

camera automatically resets the shutter speed to 1/250 second if a faster

speed is selected.

Shutter Speed Display

The numbers in the table below indicate the shutter speed in seconds.

1/160 indicates 1/160 second. Also, quote marks indicate the decimal

place, so that 0"3 indicates 0.3 second and 2" indicates 2 seconds.

Setting the Aperture

When you set the aperture in the aperture-priority AE mode, the camera

automatically selects a shutter speed to match the brightness.

Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to blur

the background and create a beautiful portrait.

A higher aperture value (closing it) brings the entire range from

foreground to background into focus. The larger the aperture value, the

greater the range of the image brought into clear focus.

If the image would be underexposed (too dark) or overexposed (too bright)

and the correct exposure cannot be obtained, with the shutter button pressed

halfway, the shutter speed display on the LCD monitor turns red. Turn the

multi control dial to adjust the aperture and display the shutter speed in white

characters on the display.
