Choosing shutter speed (
S
shutter-priority mode)
Mode
S
is a shooting mode where you choose the shutter speed and let the camera
automatically adjust to the appropriate aperture. Rotate the mode dial to
S
and then
use the control dial (
P
) to select shutter speed.
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.
