Choosing Shutter Speed (Shutter Priority Mode) - Olympus EZ-M1240 Instruction Manual

Choosing shutter speed ( Shutter Priority mode)
S mode is a shooting mode where you choose the shutter speed and let the camera
automatically adjust to the appropriate aperture value. Set the mode dial to S to set the
shutter speed. A fast shutter speed can freeze a fast action scene without any blur. A
slow shutter speed will blur a fast action scene. This blurring will give the impression of
dynamic motion.
