Shutter Priority
This is the third shooting mode. It gives you another creative tool as
it allows you to vary the time the shutter is open. This has the effect
of freezing motion at high shutter speeds and blurring motion at low
shutter speeds. If you are hand holding the camera, you must select
1/60
th
of a second to avoid camera shake. This needs to be even
higher if at the telephoto end of the zoom.
To do this.
1. First select “S” on the shooting mode dial.
2. With the LCD switched on, select the
required shutter speed using the “up” and
“down” arrows on the jog dial. The shutter
speeds are displayed (in green-top centre) as
fractions of a second.
The range is from ½ a second to 1/800
th
of a second.
Note that exposure compensation is available in this shooting
mode.
If there is not enough light to take a picture at your selected
setting, the camera will warn you by flashing the settings in red
when you half press the shutters. You must select either another
mode or shutter setting.
