The shutter speed and aperture control more than the exposure. The shutter speed
determines how sharp a moving subject is. The aperture controls the depth of field; the area
in front of the camera that appears sharp. For more on exposure controls, see the Short
Guide to Photography on page 68.
The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the
appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure. When shutter priority is
selected, the shutter speed on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow
indicator appears next to it. The shutter speed can be set between 1/1000
and 15 seconds. If the shutter speed is beyond the aperture range, the
aperture display will turn red. The flash mode can be set to fill-flash, fill-
flash with red-eye reduction, or slow sync. with red-eye reduction (p. 26).
Use the up/down keys of the controller (1) to set
the shutter speed. Press the shutter-release
button partway down to activate the exposure
system; the corresponding aperture will be
displayed on the monitor.
