Taking pictures in the Shutter speed priority mode
When you take pictures in the Shutter speed priority mode (Tv), the
camera gives priority to the shutter speed. The camera automatically
sets the aperture value based on the shutter speed setting.
When you set the camera to a fast shutter speed, moving subjects
appear still in the picture.
When you set the camera to a slow shutter speed, moving subjects
appear in motion with a blurred effect in the picture.
To take pictures in the Shutter speed priority mode (Tv):
1 Turn the camera on. See “Turning on your camera” on page 13.
2 Turn the mode dial to the Shutter speed
priority mode (
Tv).
3 Set the shutter speed from 8 seconds to
1/1500 of a second with the search dial:
■ Rotate the search dial in the
direction to select a faster shutter
speed or rotate the search dial in
the direction to select a slower
shutter speed. The shutter speed
and corresponding aperture
setting are displayed on the LCD.
■ If the aperture setting is
displayed in white, the
exposure setting is
correct for a picture.
■ If a combined aperture
and shutter speed setting
does not provide enough
light for a good picture
exposure, the aperture
setting is displayed in
red.
■ If the shutter speed
setting is too slow to take a handheld photograph without
blurring the picture, the unsteady hold warning icon is
displayed.
