Tips for setting exposure

The sense of dynamism and amount of background defocus in subjects vary by

changing the combinations of shutter speed and f

number even if the exposure is

The camera can make a fast-moving subject appear static at a fast shutter speed, or

highlight the motion of a moving subject at a slow shutter speed.
