Mode S: Shutter Priority
In mode S (shutter priority), you
choose the shutter speed and
the camera selects the aper-
ture. Choose fast shutter speeds
to “freeze” motion, slow shutter
speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving objects.

Gently press the shutter-release button the rest of

Maximum aperture (i.e., the lowest possible f-number) may not be
selected at slow shutter speeds, even when the subject is poorly
lit.
