Shoot Mode (still image): Shutter Priority

still image

You can express the movement of a moving subject in various ways 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.

  1. Press the Still/Movie/S&Q button to select the still image shooting mode.
  2. MENU(Shooting) → [Shooting Mode][Shoot Mode][Shutter Priority].
  3. Select the desired value by turning the control wheel.
    • If proper exposure cannot be obtained after setup, the aperture value on the shooting screen blinks. If this happens, change the shutter speed.
  4. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject.
    The aperture is automatically adjusted to obtain proper exposure.

Hint

  • Use a tripod to prevent camera-shake when you have selected a slow shutter speed.
  • When you shoot indoor sports scenes, set the ISO sensitivity to a higher value.

Note

  • The SteadyShot warning indicator does not appear in shutter speed priority mode.
  • The brightness of the image on the screen may differ from the actual image being shot.
