Shutter priority shooting
Allows you to set the shutter speed manually. The camera sets the
aperture automatically. Set the shutter speed according to the subject and
the type of effect you want (P. 59).
●
M
Manual shooting
Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. To check the
exposure, refer to the exposure differential. This mode gives you more
creative control, allowing you to make the settings you need to get the type
of picture you want, regardless of optimum exposure (P. 60).
P
Program shooting
Allows you to take still pictures. The camera sets aperture and shutter speed.
Other functions, such as flash modes and drive modes, can be adjusted
manually.
Setting the shutter speed higher lets
you capture fast-moving action
without blur. The subject will be clear
and sharp, as if it is not moving.
Setting the shutter speed lower
blurs a moving subject, giving the
impression of movement.
