The shutter speed settings are shown on the 1st circle (1st, 2nd or 3rd from the left) on the back monitor. Expressed as fraction of a second, the shortest or highest shutter speed on our cameras are 1/4000 seconds and the longest or slowest shutter speed is 30 seconds.


The third setting iso controls the camera’s sensitivity to light . This setting goes from 100 to 12800 (max) on our cameras.
