Decrease the ISO speed or use an ND filter (optional) to reduce the amount of light entering the lens. Differences Between <d> and <1> (Full Auto) ¡ In both modes, you can freely change the automatically-set shutter speed and aperture combination (program). ¡ In the <d> mode, you can set or use the functions below, but not in the <1> mode.

A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fastmoving subject, and a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion. * <s> stands for Time value.

Turn the <6> dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking or set a higher ISO speed. Turn the <6> dial to set a faster shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking or lower the ISO speed. Shutter Speed Display The shutter speeds from "4000" to "4" indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed. For example, "125" indicates 1/125 sec. Also, "0"6" indicates 0. 6 sec. and "15"" is 15 sec. 83 f Aperture-Priority AE In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. A larger aperture opening (lower f/number) will result in a blurred background ideal for portraits. This occurs because a lower f/number decreases the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). On the other hand, a smaller aperture opening (higher f/number) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus. A smaller aperture opening increases the depth of field. * <f> stands for Aperture value.
