You can either freeze the action or create motion blur with the <Tv> (Shutter-priority AE) mode on the Mode Dial.
* <Tv> stands for Time value.


 

	Set the Mode Dial to <Tv>.
	Set the desired shutter speed. See “Shooting Tips” for advice on setting the shutter speed.  Turning the dial to the right sets a faster shutter speed, and turning it to the left sets a slower one.
	Take the picture. When you focus and press the shutter button completely, the picture will be taken at the selected shutter speed.

Shutter Speed Display
The LCD monitor displays the shutter speed as a fraction. However, the viewfinder displays only the denominator. “0"5” indicates 0.5 sec. and “15"” is 15 sec.

Shooting Tips
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 while the aperture is displayed, the aperture display will also change to maintain the same exposure (amount of light reaching the image sensor). If you exceed the adjustable aperture range, the aperture display 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 dial to the left 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 dial to the right to set a faster shutter speed or decrease the ISO speed. 


  Using the Built-in Flash
To obtain the 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
