Shutter Priority - S - Minolta DIMAGE 5 Instruction Manual

SHUTTER PRIORITY - S

The photographer selects the shutter speed and the
camera sets the appropriate aperture to ensure
correct exposure. When S mode is selected, the
shutter speed on the monitor and EVF will turn blue.
Turn the control dial (1) to set the desired shutter
speed. Press the shutter-release button to activate
the exposure system (2); the corresponding aperture
will be displayed.
The shutter speeds can be changed by half
stop increments from 4 seconds to 1/2000. If
the shutter speed is beyond the aperture
range, the aperture display will blink on the
data panel and turn red on the monitors.
Camera Notes
For 35mm photographers, an aperture range of f/2.8 to f/8 does not seem impressive.
However, because of the CCD size and the actual focal length of the lens, the apertures on this
digital camera give significantly more depth of field at any given angle of view with any given
aperture than a 35mm camera. So even with the minimum aperture of f/8, the depth of field will
give the coverage needed to create beautiful, sharp images.
