S MODE

In S mode (shutter priority), you select the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture for the proper exposure. Use S mode when you want to control the blur caused by subject movement.

1. While pressing the exposure- mode dial lock-release button, turn the exposure-mode dial to S.

• S appears in the naviga- tion display.

• appears in the viewfind- er, next to the shutter speed, indicating that the shutter-speed can be changed.

2. Turn either control dial to select the shutter speed.

• The aperture setting changes in 1/2 or 1/3 EV increments depending on the position of the exposure compensation dial. See page 77.

•When pressing the shutter-release button part- way down, if the aperture value blinks or the printing reverses, the required setting is beyond the camera’s aperture range. Turn the control dial until the blinking/reversing stops.

• (Time exposure) should be used when in the M mode.
