Subjects with constant change such as waves or water falls. In the case of [Hand-held Twilight] or [Anti Motion Blur], block noise may occur when using a light source that flickers, such as fluorescent lighting. Hint To change the scene, rotate the control dial on the shooting screen and select a new scene. How to Use Shooting Selecting a shooting mode Shutter Priority You can express the movement of a moving subject in various ways by adjusting the shutter speed, for example, at the instant of the movement with high speed shutter, or as a trailing image with low speed shutter. 1. Set the mode dial to S (Shutter Priority). 2. Select the desired value by turning the control dial. 3. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject. The aperture is automatically adjusted to obtain proper exposure. Note If proper exposure cannot be obtained after setup, the aperture value on the shooting screen blinks. Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is recommended. Use a tripod to prevent blurring when you use a slow shutter speed. The (SteadyShot warning) indicator does not appear in shutter speed priority mode. When the shutter speed is 1/3 second(s) or longer, noise reduction will be done after shooting for the same amount of time that the shutter was open. However, you cannot shoot any more while noise reduction is in progress. The brightness of the image on the monitor may differ from the actual image being shot. Hint When a faster shutter speed is used, moving subjects, such as a running person, cars, or sea spray appear as if they are stopped. When a slower shutter speed is used, a trailing image of the movement of the subject is captured to create a more natural and dynamic image. 42

Shooting
Selecting a shooting mode
Shutter Priority
You can express the movement of a moving subject in various ways by adjusting the shutter
speed, for example, at the instant of the movement with high speed shutter, or as a trailing
image with low speed shutter.
1. Set the mode dial to S (Shutter Priority).
2. Select the desired value by turning the control dial.
3. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject.
The aperture is automatically adjusted to obtain proper exposure.
Note
If proper exposure cannot be obtained after setup, the aperture value on the shooting screen
blinks. Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is recommended.
Use a tripod to prevent blurring when you use a slow shutter speed.
The
(SteadyShot warning) indicator does not appear in shutter speed priority mode.
When the shutter speed is 1/3 second(s) or longer, noise reduction will be done after
shooting for the same amount of time that the shutter was open. However, you cannot shoot
any more while noise reduction is in progress.
The brightness of the image on the monitor may differ from the actual image being shot.
Hint
When a faster shutter speed is used, moving subjects, such as a running person, cars, or
sea spray appear as if they are stopped. When a slower shutter speed is used, a trailing
image of the movement of the subject is captured to create a more natural and dynamic
image.
