In shutter-priority auto, you choose the shutter speed while the
camera automatically selects the aperture that will produce the
optimal exposure.
To take photographs in shutter-priority auto:
1 Select exposure mode
f.
Press the I button and
rotate the main command
dial until f is displayed in
the viewfinder and
control panel.
2 Choose a shutter speed.
Rotate the main command dial to
choose the desired shutter speed.
Shutter speed can be set to “p” or
to values between 30 s (q) and

blurring moving objects, high shutter speeds to “freeze”
motion.
3 Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.
