Shutter speed is automatically adjusted to be appropriate for the set aperture value.

 •About recording modes 

 

●

The aperture ring rotates only within the range of the printed indicators.

 

●

Since the maximum aperture value changes in accordance with the zoom setting, the 

printed indication on the aperture ring and the actual aperture value may be different. 

Refer to the exposure meter for the aperture value when you take a picture.

 

●

When the picture is too bright or too dark or there is incorrect exposure, the numbers 

for the aperture value and shutter speed are shown in red.

 

●

LCD monitor brightness may vary from the actual still picture recorded.

You can set the aperture values between 

[1.4] and [8] in 1/3-stop increments.

(Set the aperture ring where it clicks.)

Exposure meter

 •When the aperture value is increased, the 

range of depth in focus expands, and the 

picture shows up clearly from the position of 

the camera to the background.

 •When the aperture value is reduced, the 

range of depth in focus shrinks, and the 

background can get blurry.
