    Specific Shutter Speeds ([Tv] Mode)
    Set your preferred shutter speed before shooting as follows. The camera 
    automatically adjusts the aperture value to suit your shutter speed.
    For details on available shutter speeds, see “Shutter Speed” ( =
      206).
    1 Enter [M] mode.
    zzSet the mode dial to [M].
    2 Set the shutter speed.
    zzTurn the  dial to set the shutter 
    speed.

    Available ISO Speed (=  70)
    15 – 1.3 AUTO, 80 – 3200
    1 – 1/4000 AUTO, 80 – 12800
    •	With shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower, there will be a delay 
    before you can shoot again, as images are processed to remove 
    noise.
    •	 When shooting at low shutter speeds on a tripod, you should set [IS 
    Mode] to [Off] (=
      89).
    •	 Maximum	shutter	speed	with	the	flash	is	1/2000	second.	If	you	specify a faster speed, the camera will automatically reset the speed 
    to 1/2000 second before shooting.
    •	 Orange display of aperture values when you press the shutter 
    button halfway indicates that the settings deviate from standard 
    exposure. Adjust the shutter speed until the aperture value is 
    displayed in white, or use safety shift ( =
      93).
    •	 Images shot at high ISO speeds may look grainy.
    •	 [M]: Time value
    •	 You can customize camera operation so that turning the < 7> dial changes the 
    shutter speed (=
      96).
