Setting the aperture value and shutter speed for each [EXPOSURE MODE]
Note
Aperture value
Set the aperture value to a higher number when you want a sharp focus background. Set the
aperture value to a lower number when you want a soft focus background.
Shutter speed
When you want to take a sharp picture of a fast moving subject, set with a faster shutter
speed. When you want to create a trail effect, set to a slower shutter speed.
Manually setting a higher shutter speed may increase the noise on-screen due to the higher
sensitivity.
When recording under lighting such as fluorescent lighting, mercury lighting and sodium
lighting, the colouring and brightness of the screen may change.
Refer to Recording Motion Picture on P104 for other settings and operations for recording
motion pictures.
Sound from motion pictures (When [REC MODE] is set to [MOTION JPEG]) recorded by
this camera cannot be played back by older models of Panasonic digital cameras
(LUMIX) launched before July 2008.
