Meanings
-
(attributive, often, uncountable) A setting in many professional-grade and advanced-amateur-grade cameras which allows a photographer to manually set the shutter speed of an exposure while the camera then automatically selects the correct aperture setting for that exposure.
Most digital cameras (except for inexpensive auto-only models) have a shutter priority shooting mode. . . . [O]nce you select this setting, you can freely choose the shutter speed and the camera will set the matching aperture to properly expose the photo.
