3.3.1 Using shutter priority mode
Shutter priority mode is the only mode in which you can set
the shutter speed manually. You may want to use a fast shutter
speed to freeze fast moving objects, or you may want to use a
slower shutter speed to produce a blur effect.
Note: When using a slow shutter speed, the camera will set
a small aperture,which will give a large field of focus,
meaning that more of the subject area will be in sharp
focus. With a slow shutter speed the camera will set a
wider aperture and therefore a smaller field of focus.
To set the shutter speed:
1. Use the mode dial to switch the camera to S Mode.
2. Use the joystick (up and down) to set the shutter speed
when prompted.
3. Press the center joystick button to confirm.
The camera shutter speed can be set to between 8 seconds,
and 1/2000 second. When the shutter speed is set, the camera
can be used exactly as if it was in Auto mode. See “Auto
