Specifications
In the programmed AE mode, "60" will appear in the viewfinder as the "camera shake" warning for 1/80 sec., while
"250" warns you that the speed has actually dropped below 1/200 second.
(A) Shutter Speed Priority Crossover AE Variation
This chart shows the pattern used by the camera's
microprocessor to maintain the selected shutter
speed for as long as possible in relation to the lens
aperture and the lighting conditions.
When shooting bright scenes at 1/125 sec., for
example, the camera maintains the preset shutter
speed until the minimum aperture (f/16) is
reached, then shifts to a faster shutter speed. For
dark scenes, it holds the set shutter speed until the
lens opens to maximum aperture, and then shifts
to a slower one to ensure a proper exposure.
The Crossover System also corrects any mistakes
you might make in setting the shutter speed. If the
shutter speed is set at 1/15 sec., which is too slow
for a 50mm lens, the Crossover System
automatically alters the speed to 1/30 sec., the
"camera shake" limit for a 50mm lens, and
maintains the exposure pattern indicated by the
thin broken line.
