13
noise. If ISO is set to auto, camera will adjust it based on EV.
5.4 Shutter Speed
Change the shutter speed. Fast (short) shutter speed can get clear image for
moving objects, but the brightness would become low. If shutter speed is set to auto,
camera will adjust it based on EV.
※ EV target adjustment is based on ISO and shutter speed, so it only works when at
least one of them is set to “Auto”.
