Advanced Functions 77 Shooting ­ Advanced Functions Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at slow shutter speeds. If the camera shake warning appears on 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 Value Wide Angle Telephoto F2. 6 ­ 3. 5 F4. 0 ­ 8. 0 F5. 5 ­ 7. 1 F8. 0 Shutter Speed (seconds) 15 to 1/1250 15 to 1/2000 15 to 1/1250 15 to 1/2000 Shutter Speed Display The numbers in the table below indicate the shutter speed in seconds. Also, 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 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. 78 Shooting ­ Advanced Functions Setting the Aperture The aperture adjusts the amount of light that passes through the lens. When you set the aperture in the aperture-priority AE mode, the camera automatically selects a shutter speed to match the brightness. Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to fade the background and create a beautiful portrait. A higher aperture value (closing it) brings the entire range from foreground to background into focus. The larger the aperture value, the greater the range of the image brought into clear focus. 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 the or button until the shutter speed display turns to white. Some aperture values may not be available with certain zoom positions (p. 78). Please note that camera shake becomes a factor with larger aperture values that slow down shutter speeds. If (camera shake warning) appears on the LCD monitor, secure the camera to a tripod before shooting. In this mode, the shutter speed range with synchronized flash is 1/60 second to 1/500 second. The aperture value setting may therefore be changed automatically to match the synchronized flash speed even if its value was set previously. Aperture Value Display The larger the aperture value, the smaller the lens aperture.

You can select settings such as a long exposure to suit your purpose. When you press the shutter button halfway, the difference between the standard exposure* and the selected exposure appears on the LCD monitor. If the difference is more than ±2 stops, "­2" or "+2" appears in red. * The standard exposure is calculated by the AE function according to the selected metering method. See page 159 for settings that can be changed in this mode.
