Which shutter speed?
Fast shutter speeds are especially useful when
recording very fast or very bright subjects. They
can also be used creatively to narrow the depth of
field and throw the background out of focus.
Select the shutter speed which suits the speed and
brightness of the subject:
1/2000 to 1/10000 second
To record outdoor sports on a clear day so that you
can freeze the action clearly. Normal playback will
be slightly jumpy, but on a VCR with a noise-free
still playback function, you will get clear images
which can be analysed frame by frame.
1/250 to 1/1000 second
To record outdoor action on a cloudy day, or for a
more stable picture when shooting from a moving
car.
25
1/120 second
To reduce the exposure level when shooting very
bright scenes, or to give more stable pictures when
shooting indoor sports.
Notes:
• The higher the shutter speed, the more light you
will need.
• Make sure the sun does not appear in the
viewfinder when the shutter speed is set to
1/1000 second or faster.
• The shutter setting is cancelled if you move the
OPERATE switch from the CAMERA position, or
if you move the program selector from
