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. Use slow shutter speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving subjects, fast shutter speeds to “freeze” motion.

Fast shutter speed (1/1,600 s)

Slow shutter speed (1/6 s)

To choose a shutter speed, rotate the main command dial while the exposure meters are on. Shutter speed can be set to “v” or to values between 30 s and 1/4,000 s.
