imum shutter speed] is used to
choose the shutter speed below
which auto ISO sensitivity control
will kick in to prevent underexpo-

or select [Auto] to have the camera choose the minimum
shutter speed based on the focal length of the lens.
Simplifying Exposure for Sports Photography
We recommend that you make the following additions to
the settings listed in “Basic Settings for Sports Photography” “Basic Settings for Sports Photography”
(page (page 2424)) if you plan on moving back and forth between
indoor and outdoor settings or other locations that vary
markedly in brightness.
• 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.
