shutter-priority
Speed-controlled camera setting
Shutter-priority is a camera mode where the photographer selects the shutter speed while the camera automatically adjusts the aperture for proper exposure.
Used when controlling motion is the priority—fast speeds to freeze action, slow speeds for motion blur: I switched to shutter-priority to capture the hummingbird's wings.
