Because the maximum aperture is not the same at the wide-angle and telephoto position, as the lens is zoomed, the aperture will automatically shift. If the aperture value is beyond the shutter-speed range, the shutter-speed display will turn red on the monitor.

Shutter priority – S

The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the

appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure. When shutter priority is selected, the shutter speed on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow

icon appears next to it. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the shutter speed is

fixed at the last setting and cannot be changed. The flash mode is set to flash cancel. Fill-flash and fill-flash with red-eye reduction can be selected (p. 32).

Use the left/right keys of the controller (1) to set the shutter speed. The shutter speed can be changed between 1/1000 and 4 seconds. Press the shutter-release button to activate the exposure system; the corresponding aperture will be displayed on the monitor. If the shutter speed is beyond the aperture range, the aperture display will turn red on the monitor.
