Simplifying Exposure for Active Dogs or Cats
We recommend that you make the following additions to
the settings listed on page page 4747 when photographing active
dogs or cats:
• Mode: A (aperture-priority auto)
• Auto ISO sensitivity control: On
• Minimum shutter speed: ⁄s
In mode A, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed for
optimal exposure. The camera automatically raises ISO sen-
sitivity if it determines that shutter speed will fall below the
minimum, ensuring that shutter speed is never slower than
⁄s and allowing the camera to adapt to changes in lighting
while minimizing blur due to subject motion. Note that pic-
tures taken at higher ISO sensitivities are prone to “noise” in
the form of randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines.
