This mode allows you to manually set your desired shutter speed. To freeze the action, use 
a high shutter speed; to create motion effects, choose a slower shutter speed. Your camera 
automatically selects the proper aperture to match the manually set shutter speed ensuring 
a correct exposure. Refer to “Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure Mode” on page 13-1.

☛

Note that Shutter-Priority Auto exposure mode operates only with NIKON lenses 
having a built-in CPU (AF Nikkor and AI-P Nikkor lenses).

By varying the aperture, you can control the depth of field. Smaller apertures make the 
background and foreground sharper (recommended for landscapes) while larger apertures 
tend to blur the background (recommended for portraits). 

Your selected aperture determines the shutter speed that is automatically set by your 
camera. When using smaller apertures with correspondingly slower shutter speeds, 
remember that, generally, any speed below 1/(focal length in use) second, requires the use 
of a tripod to prevent image blur due to camera shake. The higher the corresponding 
shutter speed to the aperture you set, the easier it is to stop action. Adjust the selected 
aperture if the speed is not appropriate for conditions or the specific effect you want. Refer 
to “Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure Mode” on page 13-4.
