Shutter Priority (S)
This exposure mode lets you select a shutter speed and, if the lens you are
using allows, the camera will automatically set the correct aperture to ensure
a proper exposure.
1. Refer to p.46 (Changing Exposure Mode) and select S.
• The action index will appear in the lower part of the viewfinder screen and
the indicator will show the approximate amount of action-stopping the
current shutter will provide.
2. To set the shutter speed, turn the front control dial.
The shutter speed display in the body and viewfinder data panels will change
in half-stop increments with each click of the dial. The indicator on the action
index will also move to illustrate the changes that different shutter speeds
will have on your photograph.
When the indicator is all the way to the right (towards the stop- action runner),
then the shutter speed which you have set will stop the action of your subject.
As you set slower shutter speeds, the indicator will move to the left, towards
the picture of the blurred runner.
