Shutter-priority AE [Tv]
Shutter Speed Display
Shutter speeds are set in 1/3-stop increments. From 8000 to 4, the shutt\
er speeds are dis-
played as the reciprocal of the actual time values. For example, 125 on \
the display indi-
cates a shutter speed of 1/125 sec. For shutter speeds slower than 4, ac\
tual times are dis-
played. For example, 0”3 on the display indicates a shutter speed of \
0.3 sec, and 15” indi-
cates a speed of 15 sec. The following shutter speeds are available:
8000   6400...
