Manual shooting
Manually adjusting the shutter
speed
The shutter speed can be set using two methods. One is
a method that specifies the time (where a time such as
1/50 sec. is designated), and the other is a method that
specifies the frequency (where synchro scan, 60 Hz, etc. is
designated).
When shooting a TV screen or PC monitor screen, the
horizontal noise generated when the screen is shot can
be minimized by adjusting the frequency to the screen
frequency using synchro scan.
Synchro scan can be designated in the user mode only.
When performing the operations using the
accessory wireless remote control
Perform the adjustments on the Camera Setting menu.
For further details, refer to the [Step], [Shutter Mode] and
[Step/Synchro] items on page 47.
When doing the adjustment
using the controller
The procedure is the same as for “When performing the
operations using the accessory wireless remote control” in
“Basic menu operations” (pages 40 to 4).
When the AW-RP555 is connected, the adjustments can
also be performed by following the steps below.
1
Press the [SHUTTER] button and turn its
lamp on.
The shutter speed set ahead of time is selected.
2
If necessary, press the [SHUTTER] button
and turn its lamp off in order to return the
shutter to the OFF setting.
Follow the steps below to set the shutter speed using
the AW-RP555.

With the [MEMORY] button still held
down, press the [SHUTTER] button.
The [PRESET] [1] to [5], [8] and [10] buttons blink
alternately.

Press one of the [1] to [5] buttons or the
[8] or [10] [PRESET] button — whichever

Any change in the shutter speed is reflected the next
time the [SHUTTER] button is pressed and its lamp
is turned on.
When OFF is selected, the shutter will not operate
even when the [SHUTTER] button is pressed.
Select the synchro scan setting on the menu.
The shutter speed setting performed here is
stored in the memory even when the power of the
AW-RP555 is turned off.
For further details, refer to the Operating Instructions of the
AW-RP555.
