If the camera shake warning appears in the center of the LCD monitor, secure the camera to a tripod before shooting. The aperture value and shutter speed change according to the zoom state as follows. Aperture F2. 8 Wide Angle F3. 2 - 4. 0 F4. 5 - 8. 0 F4. 8 Telephoto F5. 6 - 7. 1 F8. 0 Shutter Speed (seconds) to 1/1250 to 1/1600 to 1/2000 to 1/1250 to 1/1600 to 1/2000 Shutter Speed Display The numbers in the table below indicate the shutter speed in seconds. For slower speeds, quote marks indicate the decimal place, so that 0"3 indicates 0. 3 second and 2" indicates 2 seconds. 15" 13" 10" 8" 6" 5" 4" 3"2 2"5 2" 1"6 1"3 1" 0"8 0"6 0"5 0"4 0"3 1/4 1/5 1/6 1/8 1/10 1/13 1/15 1/20 1/25 1/30 1/40 1/50 1/60 1/80 1/100 1/125 1/160 1/200 1/250 1/320 1/400 1/500 1/640 1/800 1/1000 1/1250 1/1600 1/2000 Setting the Aperture The aperture adjusts the amount of light that passes through the lens. Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to fade the background. A higher aperture value (closing it) brings the entire range from foreground to background into focus. The fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization is 1/500 second. The camera automatically resets the shutter speed to 1/500 second if a faster speed is selected. 76 Shooting ­ Advanced Functions If the shutter speed shows in red on the LCD monitor, the image is underexposed (insufficient light) or overexposed (too much light). Adjust the aperture value using or until the shutter speed display turns white. Some aperture values may not be available with certain zoom positions (p. [. . . ] 80) This camera automatically adjusts the exposure to shoot images with the optimal brightness. However, recorded images may sometimes be brighter or darker than the actual image depending on the shooting conditions. Underexposure The whole recorded image is dark, which makes white elements of the image appear gray. Shooting bright subjects or in backlit conditions may cause the image to be underexposed. [. . . ]
