• 2" indicates 2 seconds, 0"3 indicates 0.3 second and 1/160 indicates 1/160 second.
• When the flash fires, the camera may automatically reset the shutter to a speed
slower than shutter speed you chose.
• The ISO speed will be locked at
seconds or slower.
• Depending on the zoom position, some shutter speeds may not be available.
• When shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower are used, images are
processed to eliminate noise after being taken. A certain amount of
processing time may be needed before you can take the next shot.
• You should set the [IS Mode] to [Off] when lowering the shutter speed
and shoot with a tripod (p. 151).
What if the aperture value appears in orange?
If the aperture value appears in orange when the shutter button is pressed
halfway, the scene has exceeded the correct exposure limits. Adjust the shutter
speed until the aperture value appears in white. Safety shift can also be used
(p. 91).
