SHUTTER SPEED PRIORITY AE
When you set the desired shutter speed, the camera will select the
appropriate aperture value for correct exposure. You can achieve
stop action effects by selecting a fast shutter speed, or give the
feeling of motion to a moving subject by selecting a slow shutter
speed.
1
Set the Exposure Mode to the
S
position.
(The shutter speed value is illuminated in
green.)
2
Set the desired shutter speed by
rotating the Command Dial.
(The shutter speed value can be set in
1/3 stop increments from 30 seconds to
1/2000 seconds.)
3
Press the shutter button “half-way” to
verify the focus and take the picture.

Depending on the selected shutter speed, the camera automatically sets
the aperture in the following range.
Shutter Speed
Aperture
30s ~ 1/1250s
F2.8 ~ F16
1/1600s
F4.0 ~ F16
1/2000s
F5.6 ~ F16
WARNING !!
x
If the appropriate aperture value is beyond the range of the lens in
use, due to the subject being too bright or too dark, the aperture
value indicator will blink. If the subject is too bright, set the shutter
speed to a faster one, or if the subject is too dark, set the shutter
speed to a slower one, until the indicator stops blinking.
