Shutter Speed Priority Shooting
By adjusting shutter speed, you can shoot a moving object with a different representation, such as freezing action, or
emphasizing movement with its trace.
1. Set the mode dial to (Shutter Speed Priority Shooting).
2. Press on the control button, then select the desired value with / .
3. Focus on your subject and shoot.
The aperture value is set automatically to achieve correct exposure.
Note
If proper exposure is not obtained after making settings, the setting value indicators on the screen blink. You can
shoot in this condition, but we recommend that you readjust the values that blink.
When the shutter speed is fast, the amount of light may be insufficient even if you fire the flash.
When you set the shutter speed slower, using a tripod is recommended to prevent the effects of vibration.
If you select slow shutter speeds, it takes time to process data.
In [Shutter Speed Priority Shooting] mode,
(SteadyShot warning) is not displayed.
If you shoot with the shutter speed set to 1 second or slower (long exposure shooting), the noise reduction process
works for the same period of time as the time the shutter has been open (Long Exposure NR). You cannot do any
further shooting during the reduction.
The brightness of the image displayed on the screen may differ from the actual recorded image.
Hint
With a faster shutter speed, moving subjects (people running, moving cars, splashing water, etc.) will appear
stationary. With a slower shutter speed, moving subjects (flowing river, etc.) will portray more natural aspects of
motion.
