Note
•
Aperture value
– Set the aperture value to a higher number when you want a larger in-focus area (in front of
and behind the main subject), to a lower number for a smaller in-focus area.
• Shutter speed
– When you want to take a sharp picture of a fast moving subject, set a fast shutter speed.
When you want to create a trailing effect, set to a slower shutter speed.
– Manually setting a higher shutter speed may increase the noise on-screen due to the higher
sensitivity.
– When recording under lighting such as fluorescent lighting, mercury lighting and sodium
lighting, the coloring and brightness of the screen may change.
• Refer to “Recording Motion Pictures” on P107 for other settings and operations for recording
motion pictures.
• Some motion pictures recorded in [MOTION JPEG] may not be played back with other
digital cameras, including Leica models.
