Shutter Speed-Priority AE
In this mode, you set the shutter speed, and the camera automatically sets the aperture value
to suit the brightness of the subject. This is called Shutter Speed-Priority AE.
A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject, and a slow shutter speed
can blur the subject to give the impression of motion.
* stands for “time value.”
