BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
*1 The size of the opening (aperture) that allows light
passing through the lens to reach the CCD. A larger
aperture value indicates a smaller opening for light to
pass through. The camera adjusts this setting
automatically.
*2 The amount of time the shutter remains open, allowing
light passing through the lens to reach the CCD. A
larger shutter speed value indicates that the shutter
remains open longer, which means more light reaches
the CCD. The camera adjusts this setting automatically.

IMPORTANT!
• When the "REC" tab's "Quick Shutter" setting is
turned on (page 74), the camera immediately records
the image without waiting for Auto Focus to be
performed when you press the shutter release all the
way down without pausing. This helps to ensure that
you are able to capture exactly the moment you
want.
