Shooting With Manual Exposure Mode - Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A100 Operating Instructions Manual

z Shooting techniques
When shooting a moving person, car, or spindrift, etc., using the high shutter speed,
you can express moment that is beyond what the human eye can see.
When shooting a subject such as the flow of a river at a slower shutter speed, you can
create an image that captures the subject's flowing movement. In such cases, use of a
tripod is recommended to prevent camera shake.
