In this mode, you can set the shutter speed manually. The camera
automatically sets the aperture to obtain the optimal exposure at the
shutter speed you have chosen. Use this mode when you want to
emphasize movement by setting a slow shutter speed to take a moving
subject, or when you want to set a fast shutter speed in dim light to
prevent camera shake.
