Shooting Using the Mode Dial 94

When you set the shutter speed, the camera automatically selects an
aperture value to match the brightness.
Faster shutter speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous image of a
moving subject, while slower speeds create a flowing effect and allow
you to shoot without a flash in dark areas.
