Exposure Mode

Shutter-priority auto

In shutter-priority auto, you choose the shutter speed while the camera automatically selects the aperture that will produce the optimum exposure. Shutter speed can be set to values between 30s and 1/8000s. Use slow shutter speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving objects, high shutter speeds to “freeze” motion.

AWhile pressing MODE, rotate the main-command dial until is displayed in the control panel.

BRotate the main-command dial to choose the desired shutter speed (between 30s and 1/8000s).

automatically selected when a non-CPU lens is attached. The exposure-mode indicator will blink in the control panel and A will be displayed in the viewfinder.
