Choosing shutter speed (S shutter-priority mode)
Mode S is a shooting mode where you choose the shutter speed and let the camera
automatically adjust to the appropriate aperture. Rotate the mode dial to S.
• Rotate the control dial (P) to set the shutter speed.
• After pressing the F button (F), you can also use
FG to choose the shutter speed.
• A fast shutter speed can freeze a fast action scene
without any blur. A slow shutter speed will blur a fast
action scene. This blurring will give the impression of
dynamic motion.
