Exposure
The camera sets the optimum aperture value automatically for the shutter speed you have
selected. Set the shutter speed depending on the type of effect you want. A higher shutter
speed allows you to capture a fast-moving subject without blur, and a slower shutter speed
blurs a moving subject, creating a feeling of speed or motion.
• Turn the main dial (or sub dial) to set the shutter speed.
