Shooting with shutter speed priority mode

Mode dial: S

You can adjust the shutter speed manually. 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 to attain correct exposure according to the brightness of the subject.
