2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works  

 - Aperture priority- In this mode you just have to set the lens aperture and this automatically sets the shutter speed.

 - Shutter priority- This mode is opposite of aperture priority. You set the shutter speed and it will automatically set the aperture.

 - Manual- In this mode you set the aperture and shutter speed on your own.
