Taking pictures after setting the aperture value and shutter speed
Checking the effects of the aperture value and shutter speed
([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.
