Taking A Picture Of A Fast-Moving Subject; Tv (Shutter Priority) Mode - Samsung GX-20 User Manual

Taking a picture of a fast-moving subject

In the Tv (Shutter priority) mode, you can stop the moving subject or blur as it
passes across the viewfi nder by using different shutter speeds. The aperture
value is automatically set to give the appropriate exposure depending on the
shutter speed.
The following images show that the fast shutter speed (1/250 sec) captures a
stop motion of moving subject, and the slow shutter speed (1/15 sec) captures
a blurred image as the subject keeps moving until the shutter closes.
▲ Tv Mode, Aperture: f = 4, Shutter
Speed: 1/250sec
▲ Tv Mode, Aperture: f = 16, Shutter
Speed: 1/15sec

Exposure Warning
If the subject is too bright or too dark, the aperture

If the subject is too bright, choose a faster shutter
