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. * stands for Time value. Fast shutter speed 1 Slow shutter speed Set the Mode Dial to . the desired shutter speed.
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. ¡ If the minimum aperture blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a faster shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking or lower the ISO speed. Shutter Speed Display The shutter speeds from “8000” to “4” indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed. For example, “125” indicates 1/125 sec.
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. This is called aperture-priority AE. The smaller the aperture (larger f/number), the wider the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). The larger the aperture (smaller f/number), the narrower the depth of field. * stands for Aperture value. With a large aperture 1 With a small aperture Set the Mode Dial to . the desired aperture value.
f Aperture-Priority AE ¡ If the “30"” shutter speed blinks, it indicates underexposure.

Turn the <6> dial to set a smaller aperture (larger f/number) until the blinking stops or set a lower ISO speed. Aperture Value Display The larger the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be.
a Manual Exposure In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture value as desired. To determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a handheld exposure meter. This method is called manual exposure. * stands for Manual. 1 Set the Mode Dial to . the desired shutter speed. 2 Set ¡ While looking at the LCD panel, turn the <6> dial. the desired aperture value. 3 Set ¡ Set the <4> switch to , and while looking at the LCD panel, turn the <5> dial.
