1. Turn the jog dial to select the shutter speed value.

- You can select a shutter speed from 1/4000 to 30 seconds.

Notes

- When the shutter speed is fast, the amount of flash light may be insufficient even if you fire the flash.

- If the proper exposure is not obtained after making the settings, the setting value indicators on the screen flash when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. You can shoot in this condition, but we recommend that you adjust the flashing values again.

- If the ISO sensitivity is set to 4000 or higher, you cannot use a shutter speed slower than 1/4 second. To use a shutter speed slower than 1/4 second, set the ISO sensitivity to 3200 or less.

- When you set the shutter speed slower, using a tripod is recommended to prevent the effects of vibration.

- If you select slow shutter speeds, it takes time to process the data.

- When the shutter speed becomes slower than a certain speed, the NR slow shutter function is activated automatically to reduce image noise, and appears on the screen.
