S-MODE – SHUTTER PRIORITY

In addition to controlling the duration of the exposure, shutter speed
determines how moving subjects will appear in the final image.
Depending on the speed of your subject, slow shutter speeds will
make a moving subject appear to flow, creating a feeling of motion.
In addition to stopping action, fast shutter speeds can help prevent
blur caused by camera movement during exposure, known as
camera shake.

• Use a fast shutter speed to stop the motion of your subject.
• Use a slow shutter speed to blur the motion of your subject.
