Taking Images Using the Shutter Priority Mode
Shutter priority mode is usually selected when the main exposure driving reason is one of controlling
subject motion.
By selecting a fast shutter speed (like 1/2000 sec) subject motion may be completely frozen whilst
conversely selecting a longer exposure (like 1/8 sec) will allow a degree of subject motion blurring such as
you might see in images of flowing water or clouds streaking across a skyscape image.
A longer exposure allows some creative subject motion blur
Shutter priority is selected by rotating the top mode control dial to the “S”
position.
Use the back-control wheel to set the shutter speed or the side control wheel
The range of adjustment is from 1 second to 1/16000 sec if the electronic
shutter is used and 4 seconds to 1/2000 sec when the mechanical shutter is
used.
The camera automatically adjusts aperture to give the correct exposure (and possibly ISO if Auto ISO is
selected).
