Exposure/Shutter

Select the exposure (shutter speed / shutter angle) of each frame. You can change exposure while recording.

Decreasing shutter speed increases the amount of time that light hits the sensor, which increases exposure and motion blur of moving objects. Increasing shutter speed decreases the amount of time that light hits the sensor, which decreases exposure and motion blur of moving objects.

The Upper Status Row displays the exposure as either shutter speed or shutter angle. For more information, go to Exposure.

If the camera is able to achieve the target exposure, the exposure value displays in white. If the camera is unable to achieve the target exposure, the exposure value displays in yellow, and the camera uses the closest available exposure.

NOTE: If using speed ramp mode, select an exposure that is valid for each ramp target frame rate. If the camera ramps to a frame rate that is incompatible with the current exposure, the exposure changes to the longest exposure possible for the frame rate. For more information, go to Speed Ramp Mode.

NOTE: You cannot change the exposure when HDR is enabled.

Integration Time

Enter the exposure value as a shutter speed (1/xx sec).

The slowest shutter speed is 1/(recording frame rate). For example, if the recording frame rate is 24 fps, the slowest available shutter speed is 1/24 sec. The fastest shutter speed is 1/131,579 sec. The default shutter speed is 1/48 sec.

Shutter Angle

Enter the exposure value as a shutter angle (xx°). The shutter angle range is 1.000° to 360.000°. The default shutter angle is 180.000°.

Exposure Conversions

The table below lists common shutter speed and shutter angle equivalents. The calculations in the table use a recording frame rate of 24 fps.

Convert Shutter Speed to Shutter Angle

Shutter Angle = (Shutter Speed x Frame Rate x 360)

Example: (1/48 x 24 x 360) = 180

Convert Shutter Angle to Shutter Speed

Shutter Speed = 1/(Frame Rate x 360/Angle)

Example: 1/(24 x 360/180) = 1/48
