Shooting - Selecting Particular Effects
   Setting the Shutter Speed
When you set the shutter speed in the shutter speed-priority AE mode, the camera
automatically selects an aperture setting to match the brightness. Faster shutter
speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous image of a moving subject while
slower speeds create a flowing effect.
