(Preview Mode)
Recording mode: 
You can use Preview Mode to check the effects of the selected aperture value and shutter 
speed.

Checking the effect of the selected aperture value: This enables you to check the 
depth of field (focus range) by physically narrowing the lens aperture blades to the 
aperture value used for the actual recording.
 •
Checking the effect of the selected shutter speed: This allows you to check motion 
in a scene by displaying the screen at the shutter speed used for the actual recording. 
When the shutter speed is increased, the screen is displayed like a frame dropping. 
Use this function to check the effect when you want to capture an image in a scene by 
stopping the motion, for example, when you take a picture of water flowing.
