EXPOSURE – EXPOSURE MODES

Program Shift: Aperture and shutter speed can be manually changed using the Rear Control Wheel W1 and the Front Control Wheel W2 at the hand grip. Both values are interlinked in the Programmed Auto Exposure Mode, therefore the corresponding shutter speed or aperture value will be adjusted to maintain the correct exposure of the image.

11.3.1.2S - Shutter Priority

With Shutter Priority, the user sets the shutter speed while the camera system adapts the corresponding aperture value.

To select Shutter Priority, set the Exposure Mode Selector Switch S2 to “S”. To select the function from the menu, set the Exposure Mode Selector Switch S2 to “Options / Remote Control” and press the Button AE-Lock B7, while simultaneously using the Rear Control Wheel W2.

Shutter priority is useful when the exposure time is crucial, for example when taking pictures of moving objects (short exposure times) or for long time exposure.

When “Aperture Priority” is selected, the user sets the aperture, and the camera system adapts the corresponding shutter speed automatically.
