: Conveying the Subject’s Movement
To freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject
Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec.
according to the speed of the moving subject.
To blur a running child or animal and convey an impression of
motion
Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/250 sec. to 1/30 sec. Follow
the moving subject through the viewfinder and press the shutter
button to take the picture. If you use a telephoto lens, hold it steady
to prevent camera shake.
To blur a flowing river or fountain
Use a slow shutter speed of 1/30 sec. or slower. Use a tripod to
prevent hand-held camera shake.
Set the shutter speed so that the aperture display does not blink.
If you press the shutter button halfway and change
the shutter speed with the aperture displayed, the
aperture value will also change to maintain the
same exposure (amount of light reaching the image
sensor). In this operation, if the aperture value
exceeds the adjustable range, it will blink to indicate
that the standard exposure cannot be obtained.
If the exposure will be too dark, the maximum aperture (lowest
f/number) will blink. If this happens, turn the <
6
> dial
counterclockwise to set a slower shutter speed or increase the ISO
speed.
If the exposure will be too bright, the minimum aperture (highest
f/number) will blink. If this happens, turn the <
6
> dial clockwise to
set a faster shutter speed or decrease the ISO speed.
To obtain a correct flash exposure on the main subject, the flash
output will be set automatically (autoflash) to match the
automatically-set aperture. Note that the range of settable shutter
speed will be limited within 1/200 sec. to 30 sec.
