<2. Taking photographs with shutter speed priority settings “Tv” (shutter priority auto exposure) mode>

(“Tv” stands for “Time value”.)

When the shutter speed is set the camera automatically sets the aperture in accordance with the brightness of the subject. Suitable for photography of moving subjects.

Adjust the shutter speed to your application while referring to the examples below.

<3. Taking photographs in the program auto mode “P” (program auto exposure) mode>

In this mode, the camera automatically selects the combination of the aperture and shutter speed most suitable for the brightness of the subject. This mode is convenient when you want to take photographs easily with- out worrying about the exposure settings.

Example 1 : To freeze the action of a moving subject, set a fast shutter speed.

Example 2 :To express the movement of water, for example, set a slow shutter speed.

•When using a slow shutter speed, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

Example 1: Fast shutter speed

Example 2: Slow shutter speed

Set to “P”.
