70 Y ou can either freeze the action or create motion blur wit h the < s > (Shutter-priority AE) mode on the Mode Dial. * < s > stands for T ime value. 1 Set the Mode Dial to < s >. 2 Set the desired shutter speed. See “Shooting Ti ps” for advice on setting the shutter speed.
71 s : Action Shots T o freeze the action or moving subject. Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/500 sec. to 1/4000 sec. T o blur a running child o r animal giving the impression of f ast movement. Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/30 sec. to 1/250 sec.
72 T o obtain a blurry background or to make everything ne ar and far look sharp, set the Mode Dial to < f > (Aperture-priority AE) to ad just the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). *< f > stands for Aper ture value which is the size of the diaphragm hole inside the lens.
73 f : Changing the Depth of Field When using a high ape rture, note that camera shake can occur in low light scenes. A higher aperture will make the shutter speed slower . Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a tripod.
f : Changing the Depth of Field 74 T o obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set to match the set aperture (autoflash exposure). The shutter speed will set automatically between 30 sec. - 1/200 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness.
75 Y ou ca n set both the shu tter sp eed and apertur e as desired. With flas h, the flash expo sure will be se t automatic ally to match th e aperture tha t was set. The flash sy nc speed can be se t to bul b, or fr om 30 sec. to 1 /200 sec. * < a > stand s for Manual.
76 Objects in the foreground and background will be in focus automa tically . All the AF points will function to detect the subject, and the aperture required to attain the necessary depth of field will be set automatically . * < 8 > stand s for Auto-Depth of field.
77 The metering mode is the method of measuring the brigh tness of the subject. Normally , evaluativ e metering is recommend ed. 1 Press the < W Q > button. X [ Metering mode ] will a ppear . 2 Select the metering mode . Press the < V > key to select the metering mode, then press < 0 >.
