Shutter Priority

You can express the movement of a moving subject in various ways by adjusting the shutter speed, for
example, at the instant of the movement with high speed shutter, or as a trailing image with low speed
shutter.

1. Set the mode dial to S (Shutter Priority).

2. Select the desired value by turning the control dial.

3. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject.

The aperture is automatically adjusted to obtain proper exposure.

Note

If proper exposure cannot be obtained after setup, the aperture value on the shooting screen blinks.
Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is recommended.
Use a tripod to prevent blurring when you use a slow shutter speed.
The

(SteadyShot warning) indicator does not appear in shutter speed priority mode.

When the shutter speed is 1/3 second(s) or longer, noise reduction will be done after shooting for the
same amount of time that the shutter was open. However, you cannot shoot any more while noise
reduction is in progress.
The brightness of the image on the monitor may differ from the actual image being shot.

Hint

When a faster shutter speed is used, moving subjects, such as a running person, cars, or sea spray
appear as if they are stopped. When a slower shutter speed is used, a trailing image of the movement
of the subject is captured to create a more natural and dynamic image.
