Shutter-Priority Auto
Exposure Mode Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure mode lets you manually set the shutter
speed (2 - 1/4000 seconds). The camera selects a suitable aperture. With
high shutter speeds, you can freeze the motion of a fast moving subject;
with slower speeds, you can create a blurry motion effect.
NOTE: You can only use Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure mode if you are
using a CPU NIKKOR lens. If you use a non-CPU lens, f-- blinks in
the Top Status LCD and viewfinder, and the shutter cannot be
released. In this case, use Manual Exposure mode.
IMPORTANT: If you change to Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure mode
while buLb is selected, buLb blinks and the shutter
locks. Select a shutter speed other than buLb by rotating
the Main-Command dial.
1. Rotate the Exposure Mode dial to S.
2. Rotate the Main-Command dial to set the shutter speed.
3. Compose the picture, focus, and capture the image.
If the subject is too bright, HI appears in the Top Status LCD and
viewfinder. Select a higher shutter speed. If the warning remains, use
an ND filter.
If the subject is too dark, Lo appears in the Top Status LCD and
viewfinder. Select a lower shutter speed. If the warning remains, use a
Speedlight.
