Setting the aperture value and shutter speed for each [EXPOSURE MODE]
Note
• Aperture value
– Set the aperture value to a higher number when you want a sharp focus background. Set the
aperture value to a lower number when you want a soft focus background.
• Shutter speed
– When you want to take a sharp picture of a fast moving subject, set with a faster shutter
speed. When you want to create a trail effect, set to a slower shutter speed.
– Manually setting a higher shutter speed may increase the noise on-screen due to the higher
sensitivity.
– When recording under lighting such as fluorescent lighting, mercury lighting and sodium
lighting, the coloring and brightness of the screen may change.
