Choosing shutter speed (Shutter Priority mode)
S mode is a shooting mode where you choose the shutter speed and let the camera
automatically adjust to the appropriate aperture value. Rotate the mode dial to S and
then use the rear dial to select shutter speed.
Fast shutter speeds freeze motion of fast-moving subjects. Slow shutter speeds add
motion by blurring moving subjects.
