Differences between the P and Modes z The following settings can be adjusted in P mode, but not in mode.
Setting the Shutter Speed When you set the shutter speed in the shutter speed-priority AE mode, the camera automatically selects an aperture value to match the brightness. Faster shutter speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous image of a moving subject while slower speeds create a flowing effect and allow you to shoot without a flash in dark areas. 1 Turn the mode dial to Tv. z The shutter speed will show on the display panel. It will also be displayed on the LCD Monitor if the monitor is on.
z See page 206 for settings that can be changed in this mode. z Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at slow shutter speeds. If the camera shake warning appears on the LCD monitor, secure the camera to a tripod before shooting. z The fastest shutter speed that can be used effectively with the flash is 1/250 second.
