Selecting a shooting mode
Selecting a shooting mode
• When the shutter speed is slower, use a tripod.
• When shooting an indoor sport, select a higher ISO sensitivity.
Notes
• The (Camera shake warning) indicator does not appear in Shutter Priority
mode.
• The higher the ISO sensitivity, the more conspicuous the noise.
• When the shutter speed is 1 second or longer, noise reduction (Long Exposure NR)
will be done for the same amount of time that the shutter was open after shooting.
You cannot do any further shooting during the reduction.
1 Set the mode dial to S.
2 Select the shutter speed with the
front or rear control dial.
• When the camera judges that the proper
exposure is not obtained with the
selected shutter speed, the aperture
value flashes. In such cases, adjust the
shutter speed again.
