Choosing shutter speed (S shutter-priority mode)
Mode S is a shooting mode where you choose the shutter speed and let the camera
automatically adjust to the appropriate aperture. Rotate the mode dial to S and then
use the control dial (P) to select shutter speed.
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.
