After you take the picture, the program shift will be canceled. 99 s Shutter-Priority AE In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture value to suit the brightness of the subject. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject and a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion. *s stands for Time value. Fast shutter speed Slow shutter speed 1 Select <s> on the LCD panel. Hold down the <W> button and turn the <6> dial to select <s>. 2 SetLook at the top LCD panel and turn the <6> dial. 3 Focus the subject.

As long as the aperture value is not blinking, the exposure will be correct. 100 s Shutter-Priority AE If the maximum aperture blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking. Or increase the ISO speed. If the minimum aperture blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a faster shutter speed until the blinking stops. Or decrease the ISO speed. Shutter Speed Display The shutter speeds from "8000" to "4" indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed. and "15"" is 15 sec. 101 f Aperture-Priority AE In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. A larger aperture (smaller f/number) will result in a blurred background ideal for portraits. If a smaller aperture (larger f/number) is used, the foreground and background will be in focus. The higher the f/ number, the clearer the focus will be for both near and far subjects. *f stands for Aperture value.
