Shooting functions k Selecting the appropriate mode for shooting conditions

The camera sets the optimum aperture value automatically for the shutter speed you have

selected. Set the shutter speed depending on the type of effect you want. A higher speed

shutter allows you to capture a fast-moving subject without blur, and a slower shutter speed

blurs a moving subject, creating a feeling of speed or motion.

Set the mode dial to S and turn the

control dial to set the shutter speed.

• The shutter speed changes in 1/3 EV

increments as the control dial is turned.

You can also change the step with the

customized settings. g “EV

step” (P. 78)

TIPS

The picture looks blurred:

J The possibility of camera shake spoiling your picture increases greatly during macro or ultra-

telephoto shooting. Raise the shutter speed or use a monopod or tripod to stabilize the camera.

The aperture value indication continues to blink after the shutter speed is changed:

J If the aperture value indication at the maximum value is blinking, set the ISO sensitivity to a lower

value or use a commercially available ND filter (for adjusting the amount of light). g “ISO k

Setting the desired sensitivity to light” (P. 56)

J If the aperture value indication at the minimum value is blinking, set the ISO sensitivity to a higher

value. g “ISO k Setting the desired sensitivity to light” (P. 56)

S: Shutter priority shooting

• If the aperture value indication at the minimum

value is blinking*, the correct exposure has not

been attained (underexposed). Lower the

shutter speed.

• If the aperture value indication at the maximum

value is blinking*, the correct exposure has not

been attained (overexposed). Raise the shutter

speed.

* The aperture value at the moment when its indication blinks varies with the lens type and focal

length of the lens.

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.
