Taking Photographs-Exposure S: Shutter-Priority Auto In mode S, you choose the shutter speed while the camera automatically selects the aperture that will produce the optimal exposure. Shutter speed can be set to values between 30 s and /1 8,000 s. Use slow shutter speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving objects, high shutter speeds to "freeze" motion. Mode S is only available with CPU lenses. To take photographs in shutter-priority auto: 1 Rotate the mode dial to S. 2 Rotate the main command dial to choose the desired shutter speed. 3 Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.
