SHUTTER SPEED PRIORITY AE
When you set the desired shutter speed, the camera will select the
appropriate aperture value for correct exposure. You can achieve stop
action effects by selecting a fast shutter speed, or give the feeling of motion
to a moving subject by selecting a slow shutter speed.
1
Set the Mode Dial to the
S
position.
(The shutter speed value is illuminated in
green.)
2
Select the desired shutter speed value by
using button.
(The shutter speed value can be set in 1/3
stop increments from 15 seconds to 1/2000
seconds.)

Press the shutter button “half-way” to
verify the focus and take the picture.
Depending on the selected shutter speed, the camera automatically sets the
aperture in the following range.
Shutter Speed Aperture
15s ~ 1/1000s F4.0 ~ F11
1/1250s F5.6 ~ F11
1/1600s F8.0 ~ F11
1/2000s F10 ~ F11
WARNING !!
If the appropriate aperture value is beyond the range of the lens in use, due
to the subject being too bright or too dark, the aperture value indicator will
blink. If the subject is too bright, set the shutter speed to a faster one, or if
the subject is too dark, set the shutter speed to a slower one, until the
indicator stops blinking.
