Speed

The effects of aperture and shutter speed can be checked by using the Preview Mode.

Confirming the effects of the aperture:
You can check the depth of field (in-focus range) before taking a picture. This is achieved by
closing the diaphragm to the aperture value you set.
• Confirming the effects of shutter speed:
Movement sharpness can be checked by displaying what the picture will look like
that is taken
with the shutter speed you set. In the case of higher shutter speeds, the
display in the shutter
speed preview will be like a time-release film. It is used in cases such as stopping the
movement of running water.
