Konica Minolta DiMAGE_A2 - Manual (Page 55)

Shutter priority is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 50). The photographer
selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the appropriate aperture to
ensure correct exposure. When S mode is selected, the shutter speed dis-
play on the monitors turns blue.
Shutter Priority - S
The shutter speeds can be changed by 1/3 stop incre-
ments from 1/2000 second, see below. If the shutter
speed is beyond the aperture range, the aperture display
will blink on the data panel and turn red on the monitors.
Turn either the front or rear control
dial to change the shutter speed.
Press the shutter-release button
partway down to activate the
exposure system; the correspond-
ing aperture will be displayed.
When using flash, the shutter speed should be set to the flash duration of the flash unit to prevent
underexposure. A maximum shutter speed of 1/1000s is recommended when using the built-in flash
and 1/250s when using a compatible Minolta flash unit.
The yellow and white Anti-shake indicators do not appear in S mode.
The maximum shutter speed or bulb exposure depends
on the camera sensitivity (ISO) setting. ISO can is
changed with the function dial. For more about camera
sensitivity, see page 74.
