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 shutter
speed 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.
The picture looks blurred:
j The possibility of camera shake spoiling your picture increases greatly during macro or ultra-
telephoto shooting. Raise the shutter speed or use a monopod or tripod to stabilize the camera.
The aperture value is blinking:
j The optimum exposure cannot be obtained. For details, see “Exposure warning
display” ( gP. 123).

 TIPS
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.
