About aperture value
To record motion pictures with a larger depth of field, set the aperture value to a higher
number. To record motion pictures with a smaller depth of field, set a lower number.
Setting the aperture value
You can set the aperture values between [1.4] and [8]
in 1/3-stop increments.
(Set the aperture ring only to the click-stop positions.)
●
About the shutter speed
To record a sharp motion picture of a fast-moving subject, set a faster shutter speed.
To record a motion picture with a trailing effect for a subject’s movements, set a slower
shutter speed.
Setting the shutter speed
●
Press the shutter button to start and stop recording motion pictures.
●
Still pictures cannot be recorded while motion pictures are being recorded.
●
The shutter speed that can be set using [Creative Video Mode] is different from the
values that can be set using [Program AE], [Aperture-Priority], [Shutter-Priority], and
[Manual Exposure] Modes.
●
Although you can change camera settings such as shutter speed and aperture value
even when a motion picture recording is in progress, the beeps and camera operation
sounds may be recorded in some cases.
●
When you set a faster shutter speed, the monitor image noise may increase due to
the higher sensitivity.
●
When you take a picture under a fluorescent lamp, LED, mercury arc lamp or sodium
lamp, for example, the coloring and the brightness of the screen may change.
