- Shutter priority mode is often labeled Tv or T on many DSLRs.

- In shutter priority mode, you'll have control over the shutter speed while the aperture value is determined by the camera.

- While you might not immediately be able to tell the difference between modes, this setting does allow for great potential.

- What shutter priority does best is capture a sense of motion.

- By using a fast shutter speed you may capture things that the human eye would otherwise not see.

- Using a slower shutter speed will capture motion blur to create some really artistic shots.

- If the shutter speed is too slow, and the environment too bright, the aperture may not be able to compensate and your picture may be overexposed.
