A semiautomatic camera mode allowing the photographer to set the shutter speed and the camera to automatically set the aperture (f-number) for correct exposure. See aperture priority.
A mode of automatic exposure by which the photographer manually adjusts the shutter speed, and the camera adjusts the aperture accordingly to produce a normal exposure.
Shutter priority is a function available on some automatic cameras. This function allows the user to set a shutter speed and then the camera will choose the correct aperture setting based on the camera metering.
In an automatic camera, it is possible to set the shutter speed and the camera will choose the corresponding f-stop for a correct exposure. This is great for when you want to control the motion of a subject, such as sports or other action scenes.
