When you set the shutter speed, the camera automatically optimizes the aperture value
for the brightness of the subject.
When you want to take a sharp picture of a fast moving subject, set with a faster shutter
speed. When you want to create a trail effect, set to a slower shutter speed.

when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
