The shutter speed and aperture control more than the exposure. The shutter speed
determines how sharp a moving subject is. The aperture controls the depth of field; the area
in front of the camera that appears sharp. For more on exposure controls, see the Short Guide
to Photography on page 129.
The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the
appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure. When shutter priority is
selected, the shutter speed on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow
indicator appears next to it. The shutter speed can be set between 1/1000
and 4 seconds. If the shutter speed is beyond the aperture range, the
aperture display turns red. The flash mode can be set to fill-flash, fill-flash
with red-eye reduction, or slow sync. with red-eye reduction (p. 26).
Use the up/down keys of the controller (1) to set
the shutter speed. Press the shutter-release
button partway down to activate the exposure
system; the corresponding aperture is displayed
on the monitor.
