 TIPS
The shutter speed indication does not stop blinking after the aperture value is changed:
J If the shutter speed indication is blinking when set to a high speed, set the ISO sensitivity to a
lower value or use a commercially available ND filter (for adjusting the amount of light).
g “ISO – Setting the desired sensitivity to light” (P. 48)
J If the shutter speed indication is blinking when set to a lower speed, set the ISO sensitivity to a
higher value. g “ISO – Setting the desired sensitivity to light” (P. 48)
To check the depth of field with the selected aperture value:
J Refer to “Preview function” (P. 30).
The camera sets the optimum aperture value automatically for the shutter speed you have
selected. Set the shutter speed depending on the type of effect you want. A higher speed
shutter allows you to capture a fast-moving subject without blur, and a slower shutter speed
blurs a moving subject, creating a feeling of speed or motion.
Set the mode dial to S and turn the
control dial to set the shutter speed.
• Overexposed when the shutter speed indication
is blinking. Increase the aperture value
(f-number).
• Underexposed when the shutter speed indication
is blinking. Decrease the aperture value
(f-number).

A fast shutter
speed can freeze
a fast action
scene without any
blur. A slow shutter
speed will blur a
fast action scene.
This blurring will
give the
impression of
dynamic motion.
