Sigma DP1 user manual Shutter Speed Priority AE

S SHUTTER SPEED PRIORITY AE

When you set the desired shutter speed, the camera will select the appropriate aperture value for correct exposure. You can achieve stop action effects by selecting a fast shutter speed, or give the feeling of motion to a moving subject by selecting a slow shutter speed.

1

Set the Mode Dial to the S position.

(The shutter speed value is illuminated in green.)

2

Select the desired shutter speed value by using button.

(The shutter speed value can be set in 1/3 stop increments from 15 seconds to 1/2000 seconds.)

3

Press the shutter button “half-way” to verify the focus and take the picture.

ξDepending on the selected shutter speed, the camera automatically sets the aperture in the following range.

Shutter Speed	Aperture
15s ~ 1/1000s	F4.0 ~ F11
1/1250s	F5.6 ~ F11
1/1600s	F8.0 ~ F11
1/2000s	F10 ~ F11

WARNING !!

ξIf the appropriate aperture value is beyond the range of the lens in use, due to the subject being too bright or too dark, the aperture value indicator will blink. If the subject is too bright, set the shutter speed to a faster one, or if the subject is too dark, set the shutter speed to a slower one, until the indicator stops blinking.
