S - SHUTTER PRIORITY MODE

SHUTTER CONTROL

Fast Shutter Speed

Slow Shutter Speed

Because the shutter speed controls the duration of exposures, it also determines how moving subjects will appear in the final image.

Use a slow shutter speed to blur the motion of your subject. Use a fast shutter speed to stop the motion of your subject. In addition to stopping action, fast shutter speeds can help prevent blur caused by camera movement during the exposure.

M - MANUAL MODE

In M mode, you have full control of exposure and the camera's meter index will show you how your settings relate to the TTL meter.

While pressing the exposure- mode button, turn either control dial until M appears in the data panel.

Release the exposure-mode button to enter the selection.

• The metering index will appear in the viewfinder.

Compose your scene. Turn the front dial to change the shutter speed.

Turn the rear dial to change the aperture.

• The shutter speed and aperture displays will change in 1/2-stop increments.
