Choosing shutter speed (S shutter-priority mode)
In mode S, you choose the shutter speed and let the camera automatically adjust
aperture for correct exposure. Rotate the mode dial to S and then use the rear dial to
select shutter speed.
• You can use the front dial to select exposure
compensation.
• A fast shutter speed can freeze a fast action scene
without any blur. A slow shutter speed will blur a fast
action scene. This blurring will give the impression of
dynamic motion.
