Exposure Mode Recording Precautions
• You may not be able to achieve the brightness you want
when recording an image that is very dark or very bright.
If this happens, use the M mode (manual exposure) to
adjust the aperture or shutter speed manually.
• Using slow shutter speeds can cause digital noise
(graininess) to appear in the image. Because of this, the
camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction
process whenever the shutter speed is 1/8 second or
slower. The slower the shutter speed, the greater the
possibility that digital noise will be generated in an image.
If you notice digital noise in your images at very slow
shutter speeds, try using a shutter speed setting that is
faster than four seconds. Also note that the digital noise
reduction process can cause it to take longer (about
double the shutter speed setting or more) to record each
image.
• At shutter speeds slower than 1 second, the brightness of
the recorded image may not be the same as the
brightness of the image that appears on the monitor
screen.
