Shutter-Priority Auto
In shutter-priority auto, shutter-speed is controlled by rotating the command dial.
Options range from 8 s to
1 /
4000
s in increments equivalent to 1 EV (one step).
To adjust shutter speed, set the camera to (shutter-priority auto), then ro-
tate the command dial.

Faster Shutter Speeds
At a shutter speed of 1 /
4000
s, the aperture range is restricted. At maximum wide
angle, the f/-number of the lens ranges from f/5.0 to f/8.0; at maximum tele-
photo, the f/-number of the lens is f/7.4.
Shutter-Speed Limitations
At Continuous settings of Ultra HS and Movie ( 104), the camera takes a
fixed number of frames per second. Shutter speed can not be set to values
slower than the frame advance rate (
1 /
30
s and 1 /
15
s, respectively).
• In and mode, if the selected shutter-speed or aperture would result in
the picture being under- or over-exposed, the shutter speed or aperture dis-
played in the control panel and monitor or viewfinder will flash when the shut-
ter-release button is pressed halfway. Choose another setting and try again.
• At shutter speeds of 1 /
4
s or slower, the shutter-speed indicator in the monitor
or viewfinder will turn yellow to show that mottling (“noise”) may appear
in the final picture. We recommend that you either choose a faster shutter
speed or turn Noise Reduction on (
117).
