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.
For information on the relation between the aperture value and shutter
speed, see page 85.
Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter
speeds and with larger aperture values. If
(camera shake warning)
or
(flash warning, in red) appears in the LCD monitor (or
viewfinder), try the following steps to resolve the problem.
- Raise the flash to enable firing
