s: Convey the Subject’s Movement
138
To freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject
Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec.
To blur a running child or animal and convey an impression of
motion
Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/250 sec. to 1/30 sec. While
following the moving subject, press the shutter button to take the picture. If
you use a telephoto lens, hold it steady to prevent camera shake.
To blur a flowing river or fountain
Use a slow shutter speed of 1/30 sec. or slower. Use a tripod to prevent
hand-held camera shake.
Set the shutter speed so that the aperture display does not blink.
If you press the shutter button halfway and change the
shutter speed while the aperture is displayed, the
aperture display will also change to maintain the same
exposure (amount of light reaching the image sensor). If
you exceed the adjustable aperture range, the aperture
display will blink to indicate that the standard exposure
cannot be obtained.
If the exposure will be too dark, the maximum aperture (smallest number)
will blink. To obtain a standard exposure, set a slower shutter speed or
increase the ISO speed.
If the exposure will be too bright, the minimum aperture (highest number)
will blink. To obtain a standard exposure, set a faster shutter speed or
decrease the ISO speed.
