Shooting techniques When shooting a moving person, car, or spindrift, etc., using the high shutter speed, you can express moment that is beyond what the human eye can see. When shooting a subject such as the flow of a river at a slower shutter speed, you can create an image that captures the subject's flowing movement. In such cases, use of a tripod is recommended to prevent camera shake. • When you hand-hold the camera, adjust the shutter speed in a range where (Vibration warning indicator) is not indicated. Shooting with aperture priority mode Mode dial: A You can adjust the amount of light that passes through the lens. If you open the aperture (a smaller F-number), the amount of light allowed into the lens increases and the in-focus range becomes narrower. Only the main subject is then in focus. When the aperture is closed (a larger F-number), the amount of light decreases and the in-focus range becomes wider. The whole image is sharpened. The shutter speed is automatically adjusted to obtain correct exposure according to the brightness of the subject.
