Shutter Priority

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. MODE (Mode) button → [Shutter Priority] → press the center of the control wheel.
  2. Select the desired value by turning the front/rear dial.
    • If proper exposure cannot be obtained after setup, the aperture value on the shooting screen blinks. If this happens, change the shutter speed.
    • When [Shutter Mode] is set to [Angle], the shutter speed for shooting movies is displayed in units of shutter angles.
  3. 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 Priority] mode.
  • The brightness of the image on the screen may differ from the actual image being shot.
