Taking Photographs—Exposure

S: Shutter-Priority Auto

In shutter-priority auto, you choose the shutter speed while the camera automatically selects the aperture that will produce the optimal exposure. Shutter speed can be set to values between 30 s and 1 8,000 s. Use slow shutter speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving objects, high shutter speeds to “freeze” motion. Shutter-priority auto is only available with CPU lenses.

To take photographs in shutter-priority auto:

1 Press the button and rotate the main com- mand dial until S is displayed in the viewfinder and top control panel.

2 Rotate the main command dial to choose the desired shutter speed.

3 Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.
