P, S, A, and M Modes
S: Shutter-Priority Auto
In shutter-priority auto, you choose the shutter speed from values between 8s
and
1 /
2,000
s and the camera sets aperture for optimum exposure.
If the selected shutter speed would result in the picture being over- or under-
exposed, the shutter-speed display will flash when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway. Choose another shutter speed and try again. At speeds slower
than
1 /
4
s, the shutter speed indicator will turn red to show that noise reduction
( B 78) is recommended to reduce “noise” in the form of randomly-spaced,
brightly colored dots.
