S - SHUTTER PRIORITY MODE

S-MODE FLASH
• When the flash is ready,
will appear in the viewfinder.
• Choose a shutter speed of 1/200 or slower, as this is the sync speed.
The aperture is set automatically.
• A larger f-number will result in a smaller flash range.
• Push the flash down if it is not needed.
When the built in flash is up or an
attached accessory flash is on, it
will fire each time a picture is
taken. The camera's TTL control
ensures a proper exposure.
• If the aperture blinks in the data panel
and viewfinder, the aperture required
for proper exposure is beyond the
lens' range. Turn the dial to select
another shutter-speed until the
aperture stops blinking.
In S mode, you select the shutter
speed and the camera
automatically sets the aperture
required for proper exposure. This
mode is useful when you want to
control the motion in the
photograph.
While pressing the exposure-
mode button, turn either
control dial until S appears in
the data panel.
Release the exposure-mode
button to enter the selection.
Compose your scene and
turn either control dial to
select the desired shutter speed.
• The shutter speed display will
change in 1/2-stop increments with
each click of the dial.
• If the aperture display blinks, a correct
exposure is not possible with the
shutter speed you have selected. Turn
either control dial until the blinking
stops to select another shutter speed.
