shutter speed of 1/250 second, etc.
- When recording in dark surroundings, you can obtain a brighter
picture by using slow shutter speeds; however, image quality may not
be as good and autofocus may not work well.
- The image may flicker when recording with fast shutter speeds.
• [
C
Aperture-Pri. AE]: The actual range of values available for selection

• When setting a numeric value (aperture or shutter speed), the number
displayed will flash if the aperture value or shutter speed is not appropri-
ate for the recording conditions. In such case, select a different value.
