Description

Tv: Shutter-Priority AE

Solution

 

Tv: Shutter-Priority AE

In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture value to obtain the standard exposure matching the brightness of the subject. A faster shutter speed can freeze the action of a moving subject. A slower shutter speed can create a blurred effect, giving the impression of motion.

[Tv] stands for Time value.

Blurred motion

(Slow speed: 1/30 sec.)

Frozen motion

(Fast speed: 1/2000 sec.)

  1. Set the shooting mode to [Shutter-priority AE].

    • Press the MODE button, then turn the Main dial dial to select [Shutter-priority AE].
  2. Set the desired shutter speed.

    • Turn the Main dial dial to set it.
  3. Focus on the subject.

    • Press the shutter button halfway.
    • The aperture value is set automatically.
  4. Check the display and shoot.

    • As long as the aperture value is not blinking, the standard exposure will be obtained.

Caution

  • If the lowest aperture value blinks, it indicates underexposure.

    Turn the Main dial dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking or set a higher ISO speed.

  • If the highest aperture value blinks, it indicates overexposure.

    Turn the Main dial dial to set a faster shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking, or set a lower ISO speed.

Note

  • Shutter speed display

  • For example, “0"5” indicates 0.5 sec. and “15"”, 15 sec.
  • Shutter speeds from “64000” to “4” on the LCD panel indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed.
