The shutter speed and aperture control more than the exposure. The shutter speed determines how
sharp a moving subject is. The aperture controls the depth of field; the area in front of the camera
that appears sharp. For more on exposure controls, see the Short Guide to Photography on page 66.
The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the
appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure. When shutter priority is
selected, the shutter speed on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow
indicator appears next to it. The shutter speed can be set between 1/2000
and 4 seconds. If the shutter speed is beyond the aperture range, the
aperture display will turn red. The flash mode can be set to fill-flash, fill-
flash with red-eye reduction, or slow sync. with red-eye reduction (p. 26).
Use the up/down keys of the controller (1) to
set the shutter speed. Press the shutter-
release button partway down to activate the
exposure system; the corresponding aperture
will be displayed on the monitor.
