Shutter priority is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 50). The
photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the
appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure. When S mode is
selected, the shutter speed display on the monitors turns blue.
SHUTTER PRIORITY - S
The shutter speeds can be changed by 1/3 stop
increments from 1/1600 second, see below. If the
shutter speed is beyond the aperture range, the
aperture display turns red on the monitors.
Turn the control dial to change
the shutter speed. Press the
shutter-release button partway
down to activate the exposure
system; the corresponding
aperture will be displayed.
When using flash, the shutter speed should be set to the flash duration of flash unit to
prevent underexposure. A maximum shutter speed of 1/1000s is recommended when
using the built-in flash and 1/250s when using a compatible Minolta flash unit.
The camera-shake warning does not appear in S mode.
SHUTTER-SPEED RANGE AND CAMERA SENSITIVITY (ISO)
The maximum shutter speed or bulb exposure
depends on the camera sensitivity (ISO) setting.
ISO is changed with the function button. For more
about camera sensitivity, see page 66.
