speed cannot drop below 1/30 sec if the display looks dark you will have
to increase the ISO to brighten it!
In Aperture priority mode the aperture range is f2.8 to F11 (f8 is the stills
limit). Again if the exposure cannot be achieved with 1/30

has to be increased.
In Shutter priority mode the range is 1/30

to 1/20,000

second.
Obviously at this very short shutter speed a very intense light source is
required to capture a correct exposure level. This mode may be useful
for analysing high speed motion, with audio.
In the Manual mode the shutter range is extended down to 1/8
th
sec (if
you also use manual focus). This allows you to get some really low level
light clips, providing there is no subject motion as this would appear as

it is recommended to follow the 180° rule. This is the same shutter angle
as used with film based motion picture cameras. To achieve this same
