Shutter priority shooting
This function allows you to set the shutter speed manually. The camera
sets the aperture automatically. Set the shutter speed according to the
subject and the type of effect you want.
1 Select the shutter speed.
a : Sets a faster shutter speed.
c : Sets a slower shutter speed.
Setting range: 4" to 1/2000
If the shutter speed is displayed in red, the setting is unsuitable for the conditions.
Take the following steps. (When the shutter speed is displayed in green, the setting
will provide optimum exposure.)
Note
The shutter speeds that can be set vary depending on the flash setting and
aperture value.
Setting the shutter speed higher lets
you capture fast-moving action without
blur. The subject will be clear and
sharp, as if it is not moving.
Setting the shutter speed lower blurs a
moving subject, giving the impression of
movement.
