Yes. Both plus the "slow shutter" mode at "4"
give you 1/4 second shutter speed, generally
unacceptable unless you really need the
4-stop advantage over 1/60th (and things are
moving slowly, including you...;-). If the
camera has "slow shutter" (under "digital
effects"), you can select "1" or "2" (1/30th
and 1/15th) for a more moderate effect - though
in all cases alternate scan lines are dropped
or duplicated, making the image less sharp
and with stronger "stairstepping"...
