SHUTTER PRIORITY - S

Shutter priority allows the photographer to specify the shutter speed; the camera sets the appropriate aperture for the required exposure. Shutter speeds not only control exposure, but also the apparent sharpness of moving objects, see page 30.

1 Turn the control dial (1) to adjust the shutter speed between 30 and 1/2000 second The speeds can be seen on the data panel and in the viewfinder.

Pressing the shutter-release button partway down (2) displays the corresponding aperture. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.

If the required exposure is beyond the aperture range, the aperture display blinks on the data panel and in the viewfinder. Adjust the shutter speed until the display is steady.

To use fill flash, press the flash-mode (3) button to raise the flash. The shutter speed cannot exceed the flash-sync speed of 1/90 second.

Flash range is dependent on the aperture, see page 25. To cancel the flash, push the flash head down.
