automatically selects the aperture that will produce the optimal exposure. Use slow
shutter speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving subjects, high shutter speeds
to “freeze” motion. To take photographs in shutter-priority auto:
1
Rotate the mode dial to S.

Choose a shutter speed.
Press the shutter-release button
halfway to activate the exposure
meters and rotate the main command
dial to choose the desired shutter
speed from values between 30 s and
1 /
4,000
s.
