s: Shutter-Priority AE

In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically
sets the aperture to obtain the standard exposure suiting the brightness
of the subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A faster shutter speed
can freeze the action or a moving subject. A slower shutter speed can
create a blurred effect, giving the impression of motion.
