Turn the main dial or sub dial as
shown in the illustration to select a
shutter speed.
For every movement of the dial, the
shutter speed is changed in 1/3 step
increments. You can select a shutter speed
within the range 1/640~2 sec. The
selected shutter speed is displayed in the
viewfinder and control panel.
The aperture value blinks if the camera
cannot set the required aperture size.
Aperture value is blinking, and the
value is at the maximum?
The scene is too bright—the camera
cannot make the aperture small enough to
expose the shot. Correct the problem by
setting a faster shutter speed. If the
indication continues to blink, reduce the
ISO setting or use a neutral density filter.
Aperture value is blinking, and the
value is at the minimum?
The scene is too dark—the camera cannot
open the aperture wide enough to expose
the shot. Correct the problem by selecting
a slower shutter speed. If the indication
continues to blink, raise the ISO setting or
use the flash.
