Mode S (Shutter-Priority Auto)

This mode lets you control shutter speed: choose fast shutter speeds to “freeze” motion, slow shutter speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving objects. The camera automatically adjusts aperture for optimal exposure.

Fast shutter speeds (e.g., 1/1600 s) freeze motion.

Slow shutter speeds (e.g., 1 s) blur motion.

To choose a shutter speed:

 

1 Rotate the mode dial to S.
