[36] How to Use
Shooting
Selecting a shooting mode
Shutter Priority
You can express the movement of a moving subject in various ways by adjusting
the shutter speed, for example, at the instant of the movement with high speed
shutter, or as a trailing image with low speed shutter. The shutter speed can be
changed while recording movies.
1. Set the mode dial to S (Shutter Priority).
2. Select the desired value by turning the control dial.
3. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject.
The aperture is automatically adjusted to obtain proper exposure.
Note
If proper exposure cannot be obtained after setup, the aperture value on the
shooting screen blinks. Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is
recommended.
Use a tripod to prevent blurring when you use a slow shutter speed.
The SteadyShot warning indicator does not appear in shutter speed priority
mode.
When the shutter speed is 1/3 second(s) or longer, noise reduction will be done
after shooting for the same amount of time that the shutter was open. However,
you cannot shoot any more while noise reduction is in progress.
The brightness of the image on the monitor may differ from the actual image
being shot.
Hint
When a faster shutter speed is used, moving subjects, such as a running
person, cars, or sea spray come out as if they are frozen in their movements.
When a slower shutter speed is used, a trailing image of the movement of the
subject is captured to create a more natural and dynamic image.
