S    SHUTTER SPEED PRIORITY AE 
When you set the desired shutter speed, the camera will select the 
appropriate aperture value for correct exposure. You can achieve stop 
action effects by selecting a fast shutter speed, or give the feeling of motion 
to a moving subject by selecting a slow shutter speed. 
 
 
Set the Mode Dial to the S position. 
(The shutter speed value is illuminated in 
green.) 
Select the desired shutter speed value by 
using 
 button. 
(The shutter speed value can be set in 1/3 
stop increments from 15 seconds to 1/2000 
seconds.) 
Press the shutter button “half-way” to 
verify the focus and take the picture. 
 
 
• Depending on the selected shutter speed, the camera automatically sets the 
aperture in the following range. 
 
 Shutter Speed 
Aperture  
15s ~ 1/1000s 
F4.0 ~ F11 
1/1250s 
F5.6 ~ F11 
1/1600s 
F8.0 ~ F11 
1/2000s 
F10 ~ F11 
 
 
WARNING !! 
• 
If the appropriate aperture value is beyond the range of the lens in use, due 
to the subject being too bright or too dark, the aperture value indicator will 
blink. If the subject is too bright, set the shutter speed to a faster one, or if 
the subject is too dark, set the shutter speed to a slower one, until the 
indicator stops blinking.
