Shooting Using Exposure Modes - continued

S: Shutter-priority Auto

In this mode, the photographer sets the shutter speed (1/2000 to 30 sec.) and the camera automatically controls the aperture setting. This mode is best for photographs where the shutter speed is the main priority, such as subjects in sports scenes where you want a fast shutter speed to freeze one moment of the action, or where you want a slow shutter speed to emphasize the sense of movement.

See P.80 for information on using this mode with other functions.

1

Set the exposure mode dial to “S” and set the shutter

speed on the command dial (1/2000 to 30 sec.).

2

Check that the focus indicator “” is lit and take the

picture.

• If one of the following warnings appears on the top display panel or viewfinder display, the subject is too bright or too dark and is beyond the camera control range.

Ú : Set a faster shutter speed. If the warning still appears with the faster shutter speed, use an ND (light volume adjustment) filter.

Û : Set a slower shutter speed. If the warning still appears with the slower shutter speed, use the flash.

• Pressing the “CANCEL” button during a long-exposure shot does not interrupt the shot.
