In this mode, the photographer sets the
shutter speed (1/2000 to 30 sec.) and the
camera automatically controls the aperture
setting. This mode is best for photographs
where the shutter speed is the main priority,
such as subjects in sports scenes where
you want a fast shutter speed to freeze one
moment of the action, or where you want a
slow shutter speed to emphasize the sense
of movement.
See P.80 for information on using this mode
with other functions.
