S: Shutter-Priority Auto
In shutter-priority auto, the user selects the shutter speed by rotating the command
dial; aperture is set automatically by the camera in response to lighting
conditions. Shutter speed can be set to values between 8 s and ¼,000 s in increments
equivalent to 1 EV (one step).
1/1000 F2.8 15
8M
Rotate command dial until desired shutter speed appears in control panel and shooting display.
If the selected shutter speed would result in the picture being under- or overexposed,
the shutter-speed display in the monitor or electronic viewfi nder will
fl ash when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Choose another shutter
speed and try again. At speeds slower than ¼ s, the shutter-speed indicator
in the shooting display will turn yellow to show that mottling may appear in the
fi nal picture. If possible, choose a faster shutter speed or use noise reduction

Press the Func button and rotate the command dial until it says [1] or [2] then hold down the Mode button and rotate the dial until it says S

There are loads of settings in the custom modes and all should be set, can be done via the menu.
