When you set "Setting" in "Shutter" (page 60) of
the Camera menu to "On," the shutter speed that
you specified with "Shutter" is turned on.
Note
When the viewfinder double speed drive function (page
45) is activated, the electronic shutter function is locked
to on, and the shutter angle is limited up to 180 degrees.

Select "Mode" and "Select" in "Shutter" (page

The shutter speed is specified in the number of
accumulated frames. This function allows you to

Camera menu to "On," and specify the number of
accumulated frames with "Number of Frames."
