S-Mode Flash

When the built-in flash is up, or an attached accessory flash is on, the flash will fire each time a picture is taken. When the built-in flash is down, or an attached accessory flash is off, the flash will not fire

•Flash operation in the S mode is the same as P mode. The camera automatically sets the aperture and the shutter speed.

SHUTTER CONTROL

Fast Shutter Speed

Slow Shutter Speed

In addition to controlling the duration of the exposure, the shutter speed determines how moving subjects will appear in the final image. Depending on the speed of your subject, slow shutter speeds will make a moving subject appear to flow, creating a feeling of motion. In addition to stopping action, fast shutter speeds can help prevent blur caused by camera shake (camera movement during the exposure).

•To stop the motion of your subject, use a fast shutter speed.

•To blur the motion of your subject, set a slow shutter speed.
