Shutter Priority Shooting - Olympus E-5 Instruction Manual

Shutter priority shooting

The camera sets the optimum aperture value automatically for the shutter speed you have
selected. Set the shutter speed depending on the type of effect you want. A higher shutter
speed allows you to capture a fast-moving subject without blur, and a slower shutter speed
blurs a moving subject, creating a feeling of speed or motion. Set the shutter speed
depending on the type of effect you want.
A fast shutter
speed can freeze
a fast action
scene without any
blur.
While holding down the MODE button, turn the
main dial to set the shooting mode to S. Turn
the main dial (or sub dial) to set the shutter
speed

TIPS
The picture looks blurred:
j The possibility of camera shake spoiling your picture increases greatly during macro or ultra-
telephoto shooting. Raise the shutter speed or use a monopod or tripod to stabilize the camera.
j When the shutter speed is slow, camera shake is more likely to occur. You can reduce camera
shake by using the image stabilizer. g"Image stabilizer" (P. 62)
To change the exposure adjustment interval:
j This can be set in 1/3 EV, 1/2 EV or 1 EV increments. g"EV STEP" (P. 111)
The aperture value is blinking:
j The optimum exposure cannot be obtained. For details, see "Exposure warning
display" (gP. 141).
A slow shutter
speed will blur a
fast action scene.
This blurring will
give the
impression of
dynamic motion.
