You can express the movement of a moving subject in various way by adjusting the
shutter speed, for example, at the instant of the movement with high speed shutter, or as
a trailing image with low speed shutter.

Notes
• You cannot select [Flash Off] and [Autoflash] in [Flash Mode].
• The (Camera shake warning) indicator is not indicated in shutter speed priority mode.
• When the shutter speed is one second or more, noise reduction (Long Exposure NR) will be done after
shooting. You cannot do any further shooting during the reduction.
• If proper exposure cannot be obtained after the setup, when you press the shutter button halfway down,
the aperture value blinks. Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is recommended.
• The brightness of the image on the LCD monitor may differ from the actual image being shot.

Shutter speed

z
When a faster shutter speed is used, a moving subject such as a
running person, cars, and sea spray appears as if they are
stopped.
When a slower shutter speed is used, a trailing image of the
movement of the subject is captured to make more natural and
dynamic image.
