A fast shutter speed can stop and

freeze the action of a moving

subject.

Fast shutter speed Slow shutter speed

A slow shutter speed can show

the flow of the action of a

moving subject.

Setting the Shutter Speed

With the mode dial set to S (Shutter priority mode), you can set the shutter speed for the

movement of the subject and take a picture. For example, if you take a picture of an

athlete in motion you can freeze the subject for a sharp picture or show the subject

moving through an arc of blurred movement for artistic effect.

With a slow shutter speed you can also point the camera at a moving subject and move

the camera to achieve the effect of blurred motion.

To prevent camera shake

Use a monopod or tripod to prevent camera shake. The possibility of camera shake spoiling a

picture increases greatly when you zoom in on a subject.

Caution

• The flash may not be effective with shutter speeds of 1/250 or faster.

• The shutter speed that you select manually remains set, even after you change to another

shooting mode or switch the camera off and on again. Even after changing the shooting mode and

switching back to the S mode, the previously selected shutter speed remains set. However, the

camera does not remember shutter speeds selected automatically.
