Taking pictures by setting the aperture value and shutter speed
Optimising the ISO sensitivity for the aperture value and shutter speed
When the ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO], the camera sets the ISO sensitivity automatically so that the
exposure will be appropriate for the aperture value and shutter speed.
• Depending on recording conditions, an appropriate exposure may not be set or the ISO sensitivity
may become higher.
Manual exposure assist (estimate)
Shows pictures with standard brightness (appropriate exposure).
Shows brighter pictures. For the appropriate exposure, either use a faster shutter
speed or increase aperture value.
Shows darker pictures. For the appropriate exposure, either use a slower shutter
speed or reduce aperture value.
About [T] (Time)
If you set the shutter speed to [T], the shutter stays open when the shutter button is
pressed fully. (Approximately up to 120 seconds)
The shutter closes if you press the shutter button again. Use this function when you
want to keep the shutter open for an extended period, for example, to record pictures of
fireworks or night scenes.
• When ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO], ISO sensitivity will change to [125].
●
When taking pictures with the shutter speed set to T (time), we recommend using a tripod
and taking pictures remotely by connecting the camera to a smartphone to prevent camera
shake. (→236)
●
When you take still pictures with the shutter speed set to T (time), the pictures may have
higher noise levels. If you want to suppress noise, we recommend taking pictures by setting
[Long Shtr NR] to [ON] in the [Rec] menu. (→182)
