Taking pictures in the Shutter speed priority mode
When you take pictures in the Shutter speed priority mode ( Tv ), the
camera gives priority to the shutter speed. The camera automatically
sets the aperture value based on the shutter speed setting.
When you set the camera to a fast shutter speed, moving subjects
appear still in the picture.
When you set the camera to a slow shutter speed, moving subjects
appear in motion with a blurred effect in the picture.
To take pictures in the Shutter speed priority mode ( Tv ):
1 Turn the camera on. See “Turning on your camera” on page 13.
2 Turn the mode dial to the Shutter speed
priority mode (
Tv ).
3 Set the shutter speed from 8 seconds to
1/1500 of a second with the search dial:
■ Rotate the search dial in the
direction to select a faster shutter
speed or rotate the search dial in
the
direction to select a slower
shutter speed. The shutter speed
and corresponding aperture
setting are displayed on the LCD.
■ If the aperture setting is
displayed in white, the
exposure setting is
correct for a picture.
■ If a combined aperture
and shutter speed setting
does not provide enough
light for a good picture
exposure, the aperture
setting is displayed in
red.
■ If the shutter speed
setting is too slow to take a handheld photograph without
blurring the picture, the unsteady hold warning icon
is
displayed.
