Shooting Moving Subjects
When you shoot a moving subject like a runner or a moving vehicle, you can vary the
shutter speed to achieve the desired effect.
With a fast shutter speed, you can capture a
momentary facial expression or freeze a subject in
motion. Similarly, with a slow shutter speed you can
achieve the effect a blurred motion. You can shoot a
moving subject like a waterfall or river with a fast
shutter speed to freeze the action, shoot it with a
slow shutter speed to create the artistic effect of
flowing water in motion.
To adjust the shutter speed manually, set the mode
dial to
S (Shutter priority mode), and then turn the
sub dial or main dial to select the desired shutter
speed.
