Flexible Recording: Changing the 
Shutter Speed 
Use the automatic exposure (AE) 
program to use functions like the white 
balance or image effects, or give priority

Use faster shutter speeds to record 
subjects moving quickly. Use slower 
shutter speeds to add motion blur, 
emphasizing the feel of movement.
