5 Tutorial-Basic Photography Step 5-Check Exposure In exposure mode P (programmed auto), the camera automatically sets shutter speed and aperture when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Before shooting, check the shutter-speed and aperture indicators in the viewfinder. If the photo would be under- or over-exposed at current settings, one of the following indicators will appear in either the shutter-speed or aperture display. Indicator Description Photo will be overexposed. Use optional Neutral Density (ND) filter. Photo will be underexposed. Raise sensitivity ( 50-51) or use optional Speedlight ( 104). Shutter Speed and Camera Shake To prevent blurring caused by camera shake, the shutter speed should be faster than the inverse of the focal length of the lens, in seconds (for example, if a lens has a focal length of 50 mm, shutter speed should be faster than 1/60 s). Use of a tripod is recommended when shooting at slower shutter speeds. To prevent blur, try increasing sensitivity ( 50-51) or using a VR lens. An optional Speedlight ( 104) can be used to prevent blur at shutter speeds of 1/60 s or slower. 33
