Using Shutter Priority Settings

You may want to select a specific shutter speed setting for a
desired effect. For example, you can set your camera to a
faster shutter speed, such as 1/500, to capture your subject in
motion. You might select a slow shutter speed, such as 4, to
capture the stars at night. The camera then automatically sets
the aperture based on the lighting conditions.

To set the shutter speed and let the camera automatically
determine the aperture setting:

1

Make sure that the camera is set to Manual user mode.
(See page 1-10 for details.)

2

Turn the camera dial to . You see the View menu.

3

Press the button next to
the exposure mode twice
to change the setting to

Shutter Priority

.

4

Press the buttons under the right and left arrows to
change the shutter speed setting. (You can choose from a
range of settings between 1/500 and 8.)

When you press the shutter button half way down to focus
the camera, the camera shows the exposure settings at the top
of the LCD screen.

You can change the automatic exposure value to have the
camera select a lighter or darker range for your picture with a
slower or faster shutter speed. (See page 5-2.)
