Available Shutter Speeds
• 1/160 indicates 1/160 second, 0"3 indicates 0.3 second and 2" indicates 2
seconds.
• The fastest shutter speed when using the flash is 1/500 second. The camera
automatically resets the shutter speed to 1/500 second if a faster speed is
selected.
• Depending on the zoom position, some shutter speeds may not be available.
If the aperture value displays in red when the shutter button is pressed halfway,
the scene has exceeded the correct exposure limits. Adjust the shutter speed
until the aperture value displays in white. Safety shift can also be used (p. 93).

What if aperture value is displayed in red?
When shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower are used, images are
processed to eliminate noise after being taken. A certain amount of
processing time may be needed before you can take the next shot.
