  • Page 3 Tv" Conveying the Subject's Movement You can either freeze the action or create motion blur with the <Tv> (Shutter-priority AE) mode on the Mode Dial. * <Tv> stands for Time value. Blurred motion Frozen action (Slow shutter speed: 1/30 sec.) (Fast shutter speed: 1/2000 sec.) Set the Mode Dial to <Tv>.
  • Page 4 Tv: Conveying the Subject's Movement To freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject Use a fast shutter speed such as 114000 sec. to 1/500 sec. To blur a running child or animal and convey an impression motion Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/250 sec. to 1/30 sec. Follow the moving subject through the viewfinder and press the shutter button to take the picture.
  • Page 5 Av" Changing the Depth of Field To blur the background or to make everything near and far look sharp, set the Mode Dial to <AM> (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). * <Av > stands for Aperture value, which is the size of the diaphragm hole inside the lens.
  • Page 6 Changing the Depth of Field When using an aperture with a high f/number or shooting in low light scenes, note that camera shake can occur. A higher aperture f/number will make the shutter speed slower. Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a tripod.
