	appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure. When S mode is
1	selected, the shutter speed on the monitors turns blue.
	Turn the control dial (1) to set the desired shutter speed. Press the
	shutter-release button partway down to activate the exposure system
	(2); the corresponding aperture will be displayed.

The shutter speeds can be changed by half stop increments from 15 to 1/2000 second when camera sensitivity is set to auto (p. 71). If the shutter speed is beyond the aperture range, the aperture display will blink on the data panel and turn red on the monitors.

Camera Notes

For 35mm photographers, an aperture range of f/2.8 to f/8 does not seem impressive. However, because of the CCD size and the actual focal length of the lens, the apertures on this digital camera give significantly more depth of field at any given angle of view with any given aperture than a 35mm camera. So even with the minimum aperture of f/8, the depth of field will give the coverage needed to create beautiful, sharp images.
