3.3.1 Using shutter priority mode

Shutter priority mode is the only mode in which you can set the shutter speed manually. You may want to use a fast shutter speed to freeze fast moving objects, or you may want to use a slower shutter speed to produce a blur effect.

Note: When using a slow shutter speed, the camera will set a small aperture,which will give a large field of focus, meaning that more of the subject area will be in sharp focus. With a slow shutter speed the camera will set a wider aperture and therefore a smaller field of focus.

To set the shutter speed:

1.Use the mode dial to switch the camera to S Mode.

2.Use the joystick (up and down) to set the shutter speed when prompted.

3.Press the center joystick button to confirm.

The camera shutter speed can be set to between 8 seconds, and 1/2000 second. When the shutter speed is set, the camera can be used exactly as if it was in Auto mode. See “Auto
