Shutter

Use Shutter to select the exposure time (shutter speed / shutter angle). The camera allows you to change the shutter settings 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.

You can switch between angle and time by using the Status Settings or by pressing and holding the button above SHUTTER on the Home Page (refer to Home Page).

You can press the button under EDIT to change the Shutter menu values manually.

 

You can press the button under LIST to choose which values you want to display on the menu list.

 

Shutter Angle

Enter the exposure value as a shutter angle (xx°). The shutter angle range is 1° to 360°. The default shutter angle is 180°. Click Edit to enter an exact shutter angle or shutter speed.

Shutter Speed

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

The slowest available shutter speed in the camera is 1/5.99 sec when the recording frame rate is set to 5.99 fps or lower. The fastest shutter speed is 1/8000 sec. The default shutter speed is 1/47.95 sec.

 

Convert Shutter Speed to Shutter Angle

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

Example: (1/47.95 x 23.98 x 360) = 180

 

Convert Shutter Angle to Shutter Speed

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

Example: 1/(23.98 x 360/180) = 1/47.95
