Taking Pictures of Moving Objects
By changing the shutter speed, you can change the way someone run-
ning or a car in a race comes out. This special effect is done in the M
mode with the manual shutter speed feature.
The faster the shutter speed (1/500, 1/1000 sec, etc.), the more an
object in motion seems frozen.
The slower the shutter speed (1/15, 1/30 sec, etc.), the more an object
in motion seems to be flowing.

Shutter speed is displayed as a unit of time: 1/15, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, (sec) ....
