TIPS
The shutter speed indication does not stop blinking after the aperture value is changed:
J
If the shutter speed indication is blinking when set to a high speed, set the ISO sensitivity to
a lower value or use a commercially available ND filter (for adjusting the amount of light).
g
“ISO – Setting the desired sensitivity to light” (P. 50)
J
If the shutter speed indication is blinking when set to a lower speed, set the ISO sensitivity to
a higher value.

To check the depth of field with the selected aperture value:
J
Refer to “Preview function” (P. 29).
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.

A slow shutter speed will blur a fast
action scene. This blurring will give the
impression of dynamic motion.

A fast shutter speed can
freeze a fast action scene
without any blur.
