117 P, S, A, and M Modes
Mode S (Shutter-Priority Auto)
This mode lets you control shutter speed: choose fast shutter
speeds to “freeze” motion, slow shutter speeds to suggest
motion by blurring moving objects. The camera automatically
adjusts aperture for optimal exposure.
To choose a shutter speed:
1
Rotate the mode dial to S.
2
Choose a shutter speed.
Rotate the command dial to choose the desired shutter
speed: rotate right for faster speeds, left for slower speeds.

1600
s)
freeze motion.
Slow shutter speeds (e.g., 1 s) blur
motion.
