Shooting with Shutter speed priority

If you shoot a moving subject at a higher shutter speed, it appears as if frozen on the image. At a lower shutter speed, the subject appears as if it flowing. Aperture value is automatically adjusted.

High shutter speed

Slow shutter speed

1 Set the mode dial to S.

2 Select the shutter speed with the front or rear control dial.

•The shutter speed is adjusted in 1/3 EV increments. You can set this exposure step to 1/2 EV increments with [Exposure step] in the Recording menu (page 111).

Notes

•The (Camera shake warning) indicator is not indicated in shutter speed priority mode.

•When using the flash (not supplied), if you close the aperture (a larger F-number) by making the shutter speed slower, the light of the flash does not reach a distant subject.

•When the shutter speed is one second or slower, noise reduction (Long exp.NR) will be done after shooting. You cannot do any further shooting during the reduction.
