Shutter Speed Priority - S - Leica TL2 Quick Start Manual

Shutter speed priority - S

Shutter speed priority mode sets the exposure automatically
according to the manually selected shutter speed. It is therefore
particularly suitable for pictures of moving subjects, where the
sharpness of the movement depicted is a critical compositional
element.
An appropriately fast shutter speed will avoid undesirable blurring
of the movement, i.e. "freeze" your subject or you can use a slower
shutter speed to express the dynamic nature of the movement with
a deliberate "blur effect".
Setting the mode
► Open the exposure mode/scene mode menu
►
Select
Taking a picture
► Select the required shutter speed with the right setting dial,
► Press the shutter button to the 1st pressure point
• Both the set shutter speed and the automatically calculated
aperture value are displayed in white.
If even the lowest or highest aperture value combined with the
set shutter speed will result in under- or overexposure, both
values are displayed in red.
If the automatically calculated aperture value appears to be appro-
priate for the intended composition:
► Press the shutter button all the way down to take the picture
